Thomas Brown was a 19th-century British naturalist and zoologist. Much of his success in his field is due to his 'Illustrations of' series. In these works, Brown provides thorough descriptions and illustrations of animals and marine creatures. 'Land and Fresh Water Conchology of Great Britain and Ireland' is perhaps one of the best volumes from this series, complete with 27 hand-colored engravings of shells, mollusks, clams, slugs and snails, and shells.
