Published in 1790, this natural history was drafted by engraver Ralph Beilby (1743–1817) and illustrated by his former apprentice Thomas Bewick (1753–1828). This account of well-known and exotic animals, ranging from horses to anteaters, was so popular that the book ran to seven editions and sold 14,000 copies.
