Blyth, Robert (eighteenth century)

Robert Blyth was one of several engravers who made copperplate illustrations of the specimens collected by Joseph Banks and Daniel Carl Solander on James Cook's first voyage (1768-1771). Now known as Banks' Florilegium (although never published in Banks' time), the collection consists of 738 botanical engravings based on the drawings of artist Sydney Parkinson.
