From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Brown (active 1758-1799) was an Danish natural history illustrator who worked mainly in London, England. His most important work was New Illustrations of Zoology (1776), published in London. He was an associate of naturalists Thomas Pennant and Joseph Banks. Brown's illustrations included birds, botanical subjects and insects. Though primarily an illustrator, he is credited with scientific descriptions of some species, at least one being a brightly-marked North American moth of the family Arctiidae, Haploa clymene--called the Clymene Moth.
