OverviewMark Catesby was born and lived in England, but has become famous for the fine works he created on his trips to the American British colonies in the early 1700s. Mark was a naturalist, who risked much to explore, record and draw the species of flora and fauna he found in the wilds of the Carolinas, Florida and the Bahamas. The story here starts in the year 1722, when Mark traveled up the Ashley River, South Carolina with a guide and the simplest of equipment and gear. The reader can participate in the experience of Mark's keen observation by using colored pencils or crayons to complete the beautiful drawings, which were originally produced as etched drawings in the 1730s.
