	Mark Catesby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mark Catesby (April 3, 1683 - December 1749) was an English naturalist.

		Born in 1682 into a family of gentry, Catesby was exposed to natural science as a young man and took the opportunity in 1712 to visit his sister and her husband, the physician William Coake, in Virginia as a means of further satisfying his curiosity about things “different” in America.
		Catesby notes in his preface he was ashamed to admit he did not collect and send back to England all the specimen that he should, a comment that suggests he enjoyed the pleasure of pursuit and observation more than sharing the results.
		Catesby saw the flora and fauna of the new world as part of a system that was much more complex than the “Great Chain of Being;” he saw order in the life cycle of individual species and thus concentrated on these miniscule chains rather than how they linked together in an easily understood system.

		Catesby was one of a growing number of eighteenth-century collectors and catalogers of figures dedicated to inventorying God's creation.
		As Meyers observes, "Catesby was interested not only in characterizing the associations between species that he interpreted as native to American soil; he wished also to describe organic relationships recently introduced to the colonies through European settlement and global trade" (p.

	Mark Catesby's Hortus Europae-Americanus
		Nineteen years after his death in 1767, Mark Catesby's New World experiences were tapped one more time in the service of a lavishly illustrated work of American natural history.
		Bowled over by Magnolia altissima, the "Laurel-tree of Carolina," Catesby waxed over the "magnificent ever-green," stating that its fragrant white blossoms and purple cones gave it "pre-eminence amongst the varieties in the forests of America." Yet despite his utilitarian emphasis, mere inutility never dissuaded Catesby from including plants that fulfilled no clear or immediate need.
		Catesby's descriptions also include precious insights into the details of daily life in the southern colonies.

		Catesby’s illustration and text became, in essence, the “type” of the species.
		the well-known fact that Catesby’s work was done largely in the vicinity of the Savannah River in southeastern South Carolina has led to the selection of “Carolina” as the [restricted] type locality” by the AOU Check-list Committee.
		But Catesby published a second, then a third, edition, and although the same engravings of the plates were used, the type was re-set.

	H-Net Review: David Scofield Wilson on Empire's Nature: Mark Catesby's New World Vision
		As a student of Catesby's work some years ago, I welcome this new, thorough, informed, synthesizing, and critical contribution to Catesby studies and to the growing field of garden and landscape studies and interdisciplinary eighteenth-century studies.
		Amy R. Meyers, in contrast, focuses on the "visual language" which Catesby coins in order to convey the "organic interplay" between the snakes and birds and plants that are the subjects of his iconography (229-30).
		While Meyers's adroit analysis of Catesby's iconography places her in a long tradition of humanistic scholarship, her sensitivity to matters of power and agency in the interplay between peoples as well as between plants and the environment shows what she has learned from recent critical theorists and their perspectives on colonization.
