The College of Charleston's School of the Arts in Charleston, SC, Offers Sale of Antique Prints of Flora and Fauna

The College of Charleston's School of the Arts will host an exhibition and sale of antique prints featuring the flora and fauna of the southeastern US and the Caribbean. A portion of all sales will benefit the College's School of the Arts. The exhibition will take place at the Blacklock House, on the College of Charleston's campus in historic downtown Charleston, SC, from Feb. 17 - 19, 2006.
 
In addition, Gilbert Johnston, founder and owner of Antique Nature Prints, will present a lecture on Feb. 17 entitled, Passion for Nature: The 17th-19th Century Scientific Art of Natural History (emphasis on Mark Catesby and John James Audubon). It will take place at 7pm in the Simons Center for the Arts, Room 309 with a reception and sale preview following.

Educated Europeans and Americans of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries shared a remarkable passion to learn about nature. This curiosity, a result of the previous century's geographical exploration of new lands and the ongoing worldwide trade and exploration, created a golden age for the interaction of science and art.
