Titre: Daniel Solander, Swedish Naturalist
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Daniel Carlsson Solander (February 19, 1733 - May 13, 1782) was a Swedish naturalist. In 1768, Solander gained leave of absence from the British Museum and accompanied Joseph Banks on James Cook's first voyage to the Pacific Ocean aboard the Endeavour. In 1772 he accompanied Banks on his voyage to Iceland, the Hebrides and the Orkney Islands. Between 1773 and 1782 he was Keeper of the Natural History Department of the British Museum. He died of a stroke at the age of 49. An autopsy was performed the next day, and revealed a brain hemorrhage. Solander's reputation has been profoundly influenced by his limited number of publications and his premature death. Although he had detailed descriptions prepared for most of the botanical specimens he collected on the Endeavour voyage, in deference to Joseph Banks he held off publication waiting for the completion of over 700 engravings. Banks failed to publish his projected Florilegium. Had he done so, he would have secured Solander's posthumous reputation. No artist credited, undated.
