	Richard Bowdler Sharpe (1847-1909) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		An Ornithologist, Sharpe was Assistant Keeper, Vertebrate Section of the British Museum's Zoology Department from 1895-1909.
		Born 22 November 1847, London, the eldest son of Thomas Bowdler Sharpe publisher, Grandson of Rev. Lancelot Sharpe, rector of All Hallows Staining, London.
		I believe that either Thomas got the 'Bowdler' part from his paternal grandmother (Jane Mary), or that he was given it from a religous connection - he was born in 1818, the same year that the 'Bowdler Family Shakepeare' was published.

		Richard Bowdler Sharpe (1847-1909) was a contentious figure in ornithology.
		He was neither an anatomist nor a particularly gifted systematist and his 1891 classification of birds received sharp criticism from most of his contemporaries.
		He is however most noteworthy for authoring and editing the Catalogue of Birds in the British Museum, begun in 1874 and finished in 1898.

	Sharpe Family Crest
		Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Samuel Sharpe who settled in Virginia in 1610; Elizabeth Sharp with her husband who settled in Virginia in 1620 the same year as the "Mayflower"; Thomas, Robert, Richard Sharp settled in Virginia in 1635.
		In continental Europe, the most ancient recorded family crest was discovered upon the monumental effigy of a Count of Wasserburg in the church of St. Emeran, at Ratisobon, Germany...
		In the Sharpe coat of arms as in all coat of arms the crest is only one element of the full armorial achievement.

	Diagrammatic Classifications of Birds, 1819-1901
		While Garrod, Mitchell, and the other anatomists of the Zoological Society of London were refining their techniques for reconstructing the history of life, Richard Bowdler Sharpe of the British Museum was taking systematics in another direction, continuing from where Strickland had left off in the 1840s.
		Sharpe was one of the most prominent and most precocious museum ornithologists of his day, publishing his first major work, an illustrated monograph of the kingfishers (Sharpe 1868–1871), when he was in his twenties.
		Sharpe’s map, like Strickland’s, shows the “relationships” or “affinities” of the kingfisher genera, but Sharpe was writing in the Darwinian era and so had to take evolution into account as well.

	Change English name of Cinnycerthia olivascens
		They proposed "Sharpe's Wren" as the English name for olivascens in honor of the describer of the taxon (and in the absence of good alternatives, historical or descriptive).
		Regardless, common practice in English names for species that have been split into two or more component taxa is NOT to use the former name for the broadly defined species as a name for one of the components (e.g.
		Sharpe´s Wren is published, it's not great but it is distinctive and not misleading, so let´s stick with it in the interest of preserving what stability there is."

		Soon Keulemans attracted his own commissions for natural history illustrations, mainly from England, a center for study of the zoological specimens arriving from farflung expeditions.
		In 1869, he received a major assignment from Richard Bowdler Sharpe of the Zoological Society of London to produce 120 lithographs for his Monograph of the Alcedinidae, or Family of Kingfishers and thereafter pursued his artistic career in Britain, illustrating monographs and scientific journal articles by leading ornithologists.
		He was one of several well-known artists who contributed to Lord Thomas Lilford's Coloured Figures of the Birds of the British Islands (1885-1897), a seven-volume work contained 421 plates, representing late 19th-century chromolithography at its best.

		The overall size of the mat and folder with a tissue overlay in between is 13 3/4" X 9 3/4".

	Voyages: A Smithsonian Libraries Exhibition
		Like all of Gould's works, The Birds of New Guinea, completed by Richard Bowdler Sharpe after Gould's death in 1881, is both beautiful and scientifically important.
		In it are described and illustrated many exotic species of birds, including the birds of paradise unique to New Guinea -- bowerbirds, parrots, and others previously unknown to Western science.
		Embraced as a precursor to the modern environmentalist movement, Thoreau’s work emphasizes an appreciation of nature for itself rather than as a resource to be exploited -- a sharp departure from the prevailing economic and religious views of the period.
