- Abstract
- This is the catalogue to an exhibition that will showcase both the collecting and manuscript practices of Victorian naturalists and how books, in some instances, encased the specimens themselves. A special focus here is women practitioners of natural history--as authors of and contributors to published works, and as artists and collectors (From publisher's website)
