Welcome to this information resource about the little-known 18th century English naturalist and artist Mark Catesby. After visiting the New World twice, and starting to publish in 1729, Catesby took eighteen years to finish the first fully illustrated study of North American flora and fauna. To find out why the Catesby Commemorative Trust was formed and why it has commissioned a film about Catesby, we invite you to explore our site.
