RARE BOUND VOLUME OF JOHN ABBOT
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.
