"In the 18th and early 19th centuries the Old World learned the amazing truth about the natural riches of the New - the dazzling, seemingly infinite variety of birds, flowers, animals, trees and insects, many of them species never before heard or dreamed of. It was discovery accomplished by the bravery, persistence and genius of inspired and adventurous men - a more splendid collection of artists, scientists and eccentrics has seldom been known, or their exploits matched."
