Reverend John Bachman (1790-1874) was an accomplished naturalist as well as an outspoken advocate for civil rights. While researching “The Signature of All Things” I became fascinated by these men of the cloth who were also men of nature. Before the great schism that Darwinism brought forth between religion and science, there were many such figures as Bachman.

SOMETIMES THE NATURALISTS GOT IT WRONG. I love this depiction of elephants having sex, as imagined by the French naturalist George-Louis Leclerc Buffon, who had clearly never seen elephants having sex.

Beatrix Potter. With a rabbit. She was a great naturalist, you know. (Beatrix, not the rabbit.) I read a lot of her youthful writings in preparation for “Signature of All Things”. She loved mushrooms. She was awesome.
