Cover of Neil Chambers: Joseph Banks and the British Museum (PDF)

Concentrating on the explorer and naturalist Joseph Banks (1743-1820), this book explores the early history of collections at the British Museum. Taking Banks’ extraordinary career as its basis, it examines the changes that took place during a period of transition that led to collecting on an increasingly global scale.
