George Perry was a British naturalist, illustrator and publisher active in the early 19th century. Not much is known about his life, but his works have left a lasting impression on the world of natural history. Perry is best known for his publications on mollusks and his detailed illustrations of animals.

His best known work, "Arcana; or the Museum of Natural History," was published between 1810 and 1811. This collection of illustrations and descriptions of exotic animals and plants was a significant contribution to the natural history of its time. Perry was a pioneer in the depiction of mollusks and other marine life, and his illustrations remain of scientific interest to this day.

Another notable work by Perry is "Conchology, or the Natural History of Shells," published in 1811. This book contains some of the earliest colored illustrations of clams and snails and is a valuable document for collectors and scientists alike. Perry was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty of nature in his drawings.

Interesting fact: George Perry was one of the first people to depict the now famous Nautilus pompilius in a scientific publication. His depiction of this fascinating animal helped spark interest in the study of cephalopods. Important works of art & pictures by George Perry: 1.
