On exhibit will be selections of facsimile watercolors plus text and a video about Mark Catesby (1683-1749), North America’s first naturalist. Catesby first arrived in Virginia in 1712 and went on to travel throughout Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida and the Bahamas and created detailed drawings of the flora and fauna he encountered. His 265 watercolors were first acquired by King George III and today the originals are housed in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. In 2012, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of his arrival, Natural History, the book he created shortly after his travels, was reproduced as a fine art facsimile edition. The bound volumes also will be on display. A selection of the prints will be available for sale in the Garden Shop.
