Plates of the Naturalist’s Library
The complete collection of Jardine’s 1300+ hand-colored plates, digitally remastered and compiled into one comprehensive volume.
Every plate restored
For the first time, the complete, restored visual inventory of Jardine’s monumental creation has been assembled into this one single, accessible book. Previously, enjoying this entire collection required access to a rare, expensive, and fragile set of the original volumes or browsing digital scans of the originals. This book offers them to the modern reader in a new light.
Vibrant colors & premium quality
The illustrations have been restored to their original vibrancy and printed on high-quality 80# bright white paper, ensuring every detail is captured.
One big book
Nearly 800 pages of restored natural history, bound into one substantial volume.
Width: 8.75″ (22.22 cm)

Preview
Every page of the complete volume is available to flip through here. Images are shown at preview resolution, sharp enough to appreciate the restoration work, but the print edition is where these illustrations truly come alive.
