Edited by Michael Stevenson
Accompanying the exhibition held at Christie’s, St. James’s, London, 1-17 September 1999
211 pages, profusely illustrated throughout in colour, original crimson cloth gilt, a very good copy of the special cloth bound edition. ‘The object of this exhibition is to explore one aspect of Baines’ vast legacy: his work in the field of natural history and science in southern Africa. (his works from his Australian travels would be worthy of an extensive exhibition in itself.) In this accompanying catalogue, contributors from a range of disciplines in art history, natural history and science critically examine has work in the historical, scientific and cultural contexts in which he laboured. The intent of this interdisciplinary approach is to acknowledge the full complexity of factors that influenced Baines’ life and work. In the past the latter, with a few exceptions, has tended to be considered only within the confines of art history,’ Michael Stevenson in Chapter 1.
Contributors include Michael Godby, Ann Datta, Marion Arnold, Jeffrey Stone, Brian Warner and Duncan Miller.
