Researchers Animalistic
Rostislav Alexandrovich Danov (Russian: Ростислав Александрович Данов) was a Soviet artist of the late twentieth century. He is known as a graphic-animalist, naturalist, writer and professional snake artist.
Rostislav Danov began practicing animalistics in the last years of his life. He was the author of many works, some of which are kept in the Darwin Museum in Moscow. The artist illustrated books, including "Rare and Endangered Animals. Amphibians and Reptiles." Gorlov was also working on an unfinished book, "Year of the Snake," where he planned to describe the seasons of Turkmen nature through the eyes of a gyurza. His manuscripts, hundreds of drawings and 15 volumes of field diaries with graphic sketches have been preserved.
Titian Ramsay Peale was an American artist, naturalist, and explorer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was a scientific illustrator whose paintings and drawings of wildlife are known for their beauty and accuracy.
Peale was a member of several high-profile scientific expeditions. In 1819-1820, he and Thomas Say accompanied Stephen Harriman Long on an expedition to the Rocky Mountains. He was also a member of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-1842).
Starting around 1855 Peale became an enthusiastic amateur photographer. Many of his photographs featured buildings and landscapes in and around Washington D.C. He joined a local club with other amateur photographers and participated in field trips, photo exchanges and contests. By the end of the Civil War, his interest in photography waned and he only occasionally took pictures.
