Joseph Wolf, master of 19th-century naturalist illustration

Joseph Wolf, a British artist and illustrator of German origin, established himself in the 19th century as one of the greatest specialists in wildlife. Influenced by the rise of natural science and exploration voyages, he collaborated with zoologists and natural history cabinets to produce plates of remarkable precision.
