John David Bradley
John David Bradley (24 January 1920 – 4 January 2004) was a British lepidopterist. He is best known for his works with Arthur Smith and Gerry Tremewan in ''British Tortricoid Moths''. He also appears in the ''Acknowledgements'' section of almost every work on microlepidoptera in recent decades. Early life Bradley was born in Wimbledon, London on 24 January 1920, and began his interest in insects during his childhood. He left school at 16 to become a lab assistant in bacteriology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. In 1938, Bradley joined the British Museum as a Preparator, but the Second World War interrupted. He then spent a few years in the armed forces in Austria, Italy, and North Africa. Career After the war, Bradley returned to the Museum and began work on the curation of Meyrick's collection. He joined the Commonwealth Institute of Entomology in 1964. His task was identifying microlepidoptera sent in from various parts of the world. In 1960–1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lepidopterist
Lepidopterology ()) is a branch of entomology concerning the scientific study of moths and the three superfamilies of butterflies. Someone who studies in this field is a lepidopterist or, archaically, an aurelian. Origins Post-Renaissance, the rise of the "lepidopterist" can be attributed to the expanding interest in science, nature and the surroundings. When Linnaeus wrote the tenth edition of the '' Systema Naturae'' in 1758, there was already "a substantial body of published work on Lepidopteran natural history" (Kristensen, 1999). These included: * ''Insectorum sive Minimorum Animalium Theatrum'' – Thomas Mouffet (1634) * ''Metamorphosis Naturalis'' – Jan Goedart (1662–67 ) * ''Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium'' – Maria S. Merian (1705), whose work included illustrated accounts of European Lepidoptera * ''Historia Insectorum'' – John Ray (1710) * ''Papilionum Brittaniae icones'' – James Petiver (1717) History Scholars 1758–1900 was the era of th ...

Arthur Smith (illustrator)
Arthur Smith ARCA (1916–1991) was a British natural history illustrator who specialised in entomology. He was born in the village of Eastburn, between Skipton and Keighley in Yorkshire, UK. During his youth he developed a keen interest in natural history from walks on the Yorkshire Moors. At 15 he attended Keighley College of Arts and Crafts and then the Royal College of Art in London. He graduated with a Silver Medal awarded for Special Distinction in the School of Design (then the highest order). In 1940 he commenced his career as a freelance illustrator at the British Museum (Nat. Hist.). To avoid the disruption of the London Blitz during World War II he moved to Letchworth at the invitation of a colleague, Frederick Wallace Edwards. Edwards died shortly afterwards, but had put Smith in touch with James Edward Collin, for whom he produced 950 illustrations for the latter’s book on British empididae. The book was eventually published in 1961. Smith also collaborated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
