REVIEW  -

Tim Hames, The Times (London):
“The real curiosity in The Curious Mister Catesby, the premiere of which took place at the Royal Society on November 14 [2007], is why so few people either in Britain or the US have heard of him at all. Mark Catesby was in many ways the most important artist and scientist of the Americas. He was certainly the first to set out in loving detail an extraordinary collection of drawings and information about the birds, insects, other wildlife and plants of the then colonies. Yet John James Audubon, whose work was published more than a century later than his forebear’s, and whose style it might be charitably said owed not a little to Catesby, is a much more famous individual”.
