Engravings from Oliver Goldsmith’s History of the Earth and Animated Nature (1825)

"Beautiful and appropriate" engravings for Oliver Goldsmith's History of the Earth and Animated Nature (1825). Goldsmith (1730-1774) was an Anglo-Irish novelist, playwright and poet, who is best known for his novel The Vicar of Wakefield, his pastoral poem The Deserted Village, and his plays The Good-Natur'd Man and She Stoops to Conquer. He is also thought to have written the classic children's tale The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes, the source of the phrase "goody two-shoes". Along with Joshua Reynolds and Samuel Johnson he was a founding member of "The Club" in 1764, a London dining club who would meet weekly bringing together the leading lights of the city's artist and literary scene.
