A guest blog on photographing the ZSL Library artworks by James Godwin

Over the past 200 years ZSL has inspired generations of artists, poets and authors – bringing people closer to nature than ever before.

Edward Lear may be better known today for his limericks and nonsense poetry - such as ‘The owl and the pussycat went to sea’ - but before this he was an incredibly talented zoological artist, beginning his career with us here at ZSL.

ZSL's Zoological Library & Archives is one of the UK’s largest repositories of animal images. There are approximately 6000 original artworks at present. Contact us to view any of them in person.
