Curious Mister Catesby

Episode 1 of 1

The Curious Mister Catesby is a one hour documentary about the life and work of scientist and artist Mark Catesby (1683-1749). Now extremely rare and largely unknown to the general public, Catesby's Natural History of the Carolinas, Florida and the Bahama Islands - based on his extensive studies in the North American wilderness - was the greatest accomplishment in art and science relative to North America prior to the American Revolution. Audubon, who came a century later, stood on Catesby's shoulders, as did most leading naturalists of the 18th and early 19th centuries.
