It begins with the voyages of Captain Cook and concludes at the end of the Victorian era. the fauna was not as large or as exotic as that of some countries, but the Kiwi, the Moa, the Takahe and the Tuatara attracted maximum attention from scientists and public alike and leading nineteenth century naturalists took part in the description of New Zealand species. Abundant illustrations give a clear picture of the technique and propression of natural history art. this book is based on selected events in New Zealand's zoological history, is a readable, attractive work which will have wide appeal, and the professional biologist or historian will find a wealth of useful detail in the substantial footnotes accompanying the text.
