Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins was born in London in 1807. He studied painting and sculpture, and by the time he was twenty, concentrated on natural history. He exhibited paintings in several London galleries, and helped illustrate Charles Darwin's The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle. He wrote several books on animal anatomy and became one of England's most popular illustrators of natural history books. While Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins is best known for his dinosaur models, he made excellent large scale lithographs, considered by some men of his time to be the finest representations of mammals ever executed. He died in 1894.

Includes 6 lithographs of 3 birds (pheasant, falcon, partridge), and 3 mammals (red panda, fox and binturong). All animals are from India, and were possibly intended for John Edward Gray's Illustrations of Indian zoology (1830-34), as the illustrations by Hawkins in Gray's book were published and printed by the same individuals (Parbury, Allen & Co. and W. Day). Each sheet measures 34 x 48 cm., and individual image sizes are noted (11 x 22 cm. -- 24 x 30 cm.).

Arranged alphabetically by genus and species, as given in the title.
