This natural history illustration depicts a Golden Eagle, shown in a powerful profile as it stands atop a rocky ledge. The engraving utilizes masterful line work to capture the bird's dense, layered plumage and the formidable structure of its sharp beak and curved talons. This work was produced for the General Zoology or Systematic Natural History series, a monumental scientific project intended to provide a systematic and comprehensive description of the animal kingdom during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. George Shaw (1751–1813) was a distinguished English botanist and zoologist who served as the keeper of the natural history department at the British Museum. He was a co-founder of the Linnean Society and became widely known for his prolific publications, including The Naturalist's Miscellany. Shaw was instrumental in providing the first scientific descriptions of many animals discovered during global expeditions, and his collaborative works with various engravers remain significant contributions to the development of zoological science and illustration during the Georgian era.

10942c_8de4fb0cb521cd3

This hand-colored engraving presents a detailed biological study of several butterfly species and their metamorphosis stages. The upper section features a spiny black caterpillar on a nettle stalk next to a golden pupa, flanked by an adult Peacock butterfly with its characteristic eye-spots and a dark Comma butterfly. The lower section illustrates a similar larval stage alongside two specimens of the Small Tortoiseshell butterfly, showing the vibrant orange and black mottled wing patterns. The plate includes a formal dedication at the bottom to the Honorable Mrs. Elizabeth Somersett, reflecting the 18th-century practice of securing aristocratic patronage for scientific publications.
