Concentrating on the explorer and naturalist Joseph Banks (1743-1820), this book explores the early history of collections at the British Museum, the first public national museum to be established. Banks travelled around the world with James Cook on HMS Endeavour, making important plant, animal and insect collections. Becoming one of the major patrons of British exploration and science, Banks was a significant trustee and donor of material for the museum. Taking Banks's extraordinary career as its basis, this book examines the changes that took place during a period of transition that led to collecting on an increasingly global scale and shows how these affected the British Museum itself. The book will appeal to scholars of eighteenth-century science, culture and arts, museum history, exploration and empire. 517 3 $aJoseph Banks & the British Museum 606 $aCollectors and collecting$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aCollectors and collecting$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aCollectors and collecting$xHistory 615 0$aCollectors and collecting$xHistory 676 $a069.5094109033 700 $aChambers$b Neil$01646059 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815957803321 996 $aJoseph Banks and the British Museum$93992872 997 $aUNINA
