How the Founder of the British Museum Practiced Botany in Jamaica
Presenting his new book, Collecting the World: Hans Sloane and the Origins of the British Museum (2017), James Delbourgo explores how Sloane, founder of the British Museum, practiced botany in the slave society of colonial Jamaica during his time on the island in 1687–1689. Plant collecting, encyclopedic research, and extended processes of drawing figured heavily in Sloane’s botany, which drew on the knowledge of both planters and slaves, and culminated in the lavishly illustrated natural history of the island published in London in 1707–1725.

Delbourgo’s work offers important new perspectives on the complex relationship between world-wide scientific discovery and 18th-century imperialism.
