10314 Frederick Polydore Nodder (1751–1801) – Pangolin on a Branch – Hand-colored Engraving (1790)
This illustration depicts a pangolin, also known as a scaly anteater, as it climbs along a mossy tree branch. The work captures the animal's unique defensive armor, consisting of large, overlapping brown scales that cover its entire body and exceptionally long, prehensile tail. The pangolin is shown in profile, highlighting its small head, lack of teeth, and strong claws used for digging into ant and termite mounds. This work was published as part of The Naturalist's Miscellany, a celebrated serial publication dedicated to describing and illustrating new and remarkable nature subjects from around the world.
Frederick Polydore Nodder was a prominent English artist and engraver who served as botanical painter to Queen Charlotte. He is best known for his extensive contributions to The Naturalist's Miscellany, where he worked closely with George Shaw to produce hundreds of detailed plates covering zoology and botany. His ability to capture the fine textures and colors of natural history specimens with scientific accuracy made him one of the most respected illustrators of the late eighteenth century.
