"This splendid book on the 19th century naturalist and scientific artist Philip Henry Gosse is Auburn Univerisity Libraries' ceremonial 3 millionth volume. . . . The catalog is the first publication of the artist's 1838 Dallas County, Ala., sketchbook. . . . This outstanding collection of Gosse's work contains all 49 Dallas County plates presented in their original vibrant colors--the plates having never suffered the destructive treatment of the 19th century printing process. The result: An Alabama publishing treasure!" --Art Gould, Anniston Star, "This excellent presentation of Gosse's insect paintings is a perfect complement to his classic Letters from Alabama . Beautifully reproduced here, with a full biography of Gosse, they are an important contribution to the history of American science." --E.O. Wilson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Anthill and Sociobiology "Philip Henry Gosse was a remarkably talented English 19th-century scientific author and artist. He was a keen observer of small marine, insect, and animal life who wrote and illustrated many books on his observations. In his youth, he lived for a while in Newfoundland and, of course, Alabama, where he wrote of his scientific observations and created many wonderful, exquisitely detailed, life-size paintings of insects, using techniques of miniature painting he learned from his father. He was a well-known scientist, but also a devout fundamentalist Christian to whom nature was evidence of God's creation. Although his Letters from Alabama and some other books are still in print, the exquisite paintings from his notebook, Entomologia Alabamensis , had never been published. Here, on the bicentennial of his birth, Mullen and Littleton (both, Auburn Univ.) present them for the first time, together with an extended essay about Gosse's life and work and its significance. The 49 beautiful, detailed plates depict many insects, especially butterflies and moths, some with the plants on which they feed. All are carefully identified with current scientific names. This significant contribution to the history of science as well as art history should interest libraries collecting in these areas. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General, academic, and professional readers, all levels." -- CHOICE , This excellent presentation of Gosse's insect paintings is a perfect complement to his classic Letters from Alabama .

Synopsis
Philip Henry Gosse's detailed watercolors of Alabama's native insects and plants represent a landmark in the annals of American natural history. Offered for the first time are the complete full-color illustrations from Gosse's Entomologia Alabamensis , along with a biographical essay placing Gosse's work in the context of his long and fruitful life., Philip Henry Gosse's detailed watercolors of Alabama's native insects and plants represent a landmark in the annals of American natural history. Offered for the first time are the complete full-color illustrations from Gosse's Entomologia Alabamensis , along with a biographical essay placing Gosse's work in the context of his long and fruitful life. Born in 1810 in Worcester, England, the young Philip Henry Gosse developed a passion for the natural world. Having learned the basics of miniature portraiture from his father, Gosse quickly took for his artistic subjects the flourishing marine life he discovered along the English coast. In May, 1838, Gosse took a teaching job in Dallas County, Alabama. For the next eight months he collected the insect specimens that he would preserve in the beautifully detailed watercolors of Entomologia Alabamensis . In addition, he composed a highly personalized chronology of his life in a frontier culture, published eventually as Letters from Alabama . Following his return to England, Gosse went on to publish more than 40 books, producing some of the 19th century's finest illustrations of insects and marine organisms. Today, he is remembered as a popular writer of science for the general public and as a passionate artist whose work in Alabama and elsewhere captured and revealed the beauty and vitality of the natural world. Copublication with the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art and Auburn University Libraries.
