In addition to the correspondence of Sir Joseph Banks I am indebted to David Mabberley’s work on Ferdinand Bauer, including some of his descriptions of the artworks. See: Painting by Numbers: The Life and Art of Ferdinand Bauer (New South Publishing: Sydney, 2017); Ferdinand Bauer – The Nature of Discovery (Merrel Holberton and The Natural History Museum, London, 1999) and An Exquisite Eye: The Australian Flora and Fauna Drawings 1801-1820 of Ferdinand Bauer co-authored with Peter Watts and Jo Anne Pomfrett (Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales: Glebe, NSW, 1997).
