George Edwards (naturalist)
George Edwards (3 April 1694 – 23 July 1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the "father of British ornithology".
Edwards was born at Stratford, Essex. In his early years he travelled extensively through mainland Europe, studying natural history, and gained some reputation for his coloured drawings of animals, especially birds.
==Librarian for the Royal College of Physicians==
In 1733, on the recommendation of Sir Hans Sloane, he was appointed librarian to the Royal College of Physicians in London. (Sir Hans Sloane, founder of the British Museum, had employed George Edwards as a natural history painter for many years. He drew miniature figures of animals for Sir Hans Sloane. Edwards visited with Sir Sloane once a week to share news and a coffee. Sir Sloane kept track of Edwards expenses and paid him annually for such.) He served as librarian for thirty-six years. He was chosen Fellow of the Royal and Antiquarian Societies. He was rewarded with the Copley Medal.
