- RARE BOUND VOLUME OF JOHN ABBOT WATERCOLORS(English/American,
RARE BOUND VOLUME OF JOHN ABBOT WATERCOLORS(English/American, 1751-circa 1840)
Birds of Georgia, Consisting of the most rare and beautiful kinds, Drawn and Coloured from Nature by John Abbot, 1823, 73 watercolors on wove paper, original full leather binding, 12-3/4 x 8-1/4 in.
Note: John Abbott was born in London, 1751. He was traveling the path to a career in the Law with his father, however he chose instead to spend a lifetime observing and recording the insects, butterflies and birds of Virginia and Georgia. He was fascinated by the natural world and drawn to the community of 18th century scientists who took their inspiration and acquired specimens from England's many colonies. In 1773 Abbot left his homeland of England, never to return, armed with a letter of introduction from the Royal Society of London, an agreement with the London jeweler John Francillon to serve as his agent for the sale of specimens and illustrations, and commissions from several collectors and scientists.
Abbot arrived in Virginia at the onset of the Revolutionary War - imperfect timing as he relied on British patronage and buyers for his watercolors and drawings. After 2 years in Virginia he moved to Georgia where he remained. The War of 1812 once again disrupted his sales in England and he turned to American clients but resumed trade with England after the war.
Abbot's work has been underrepresented in the discussion of early American naturalists as the vast majority of his work was sent to London. Appreciation of his work has grown as collectors farther afield have seen his lovely watercolors and shared his view of the natural world in the 18th century south. Abbot's watercolors and published works are held in public and private collections around the world.

Countersigned, titled, dated and inscribed "No. 6" and "$50" in pencil on the upper stretcher bar. Dimensions: Oil on canvas, 17" x 23". Framed 21.5" x 27.75". Provenance: Notes:Having played a significant role in maintaining Wampanoag Indian identity for generations, this painting of the Gay Head (Aquinnah) cliffs depicts an Indian encampment located atop colorful Oak Bluffs. The Indian gazes across Buzzard's Bay toward distant land in the east and two approaching ships. The two ships likely represent the 1602 arrival of the explorers Bartholomew Gosnold and John Brereton. Gosnold's ship "Concord" was the first known to travel down today's Buzzards Bay and to stop at Martha's Vineyard. (In 1524 Verrazzano, probably in only one ship, had also explored the region, but not specifically Martha's Vineyard.)This painting is illustrated in Indian Basketry of the Northeastern Woodlands, by Sarah Peabody Turnbaugh and William A. Turnbaugh (Atglen, Pa.: Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 2014), p. 15, plate 1.5.
