About This Item
Washington, D.C.: GPO Magazine. Good. Soft cover. pp415-432. Removed from Smithsonian Institution PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, VOLUME XXIX, 1906. In plastic report covers. VG. From the introduction: "The career of Thomas Martyn, the artist publisher of the most beautiful iconography of shells ever prepared, the medalist of a pope and four kings, is little known. He has been confused with a distinguished contemporary botanist of the same name in some bibliographies, and the facts now discoverable about his life, and even his publications, are disappointingly scanty." The writer examines the life and work of this overlooked "ingenious naturalist in London." .
