John Abbot: Birds, Butterflies and Other Wonders (Art of Nature)

Pamela Gilbert

Merrell Holberton / The Natural History Museum, London 1998

In July 1773, John Abbot (1751—c. 1840), a twenty-year-old amateur naturalist, left England to spend the rest of his life in Virginia and Georgia to collect and paint specimens for clients in England and Europe. For nearly sixty years, until his death around 1840, he worked meticulously to catalog, paint, and supply specimens for collectors and other naturalists. Though his work was prolific and in demand throughout his life, he never sought greater recognition and virtually never published, as opposed to his contemporary John James Audubon, despite having painted and catalogued many bird specimens well before Audubon began work. Besides being a talented artist, particularly of insects, Abbot was also a gifted scientist and naturalist. Many of the specimens he painted were extinct within forty years of his death, a consequence he predicted following the increase in human population and changes in farming practices.

Hello! I'm here to pick your expert brain.

This piece of music was used on Star in My Mind ep 4 pt 1 and I SWEAR it was used in Bad Buddy but don't remember when. I searched your blog (since you are the oracle for all the Bad Buddy music) but couldn't find the track...so does this mean I'm wrong? Maybe I heard it somewhere else and just think it's a patpran piece of music 😂 because, you know, I can make everything about Pat and Pran.

Thank you! 😊

Yes, it certainly was used in Bad Buddy (and thank you for considering me an expert <3)! I'm working my way back through my posts and adding the new songs that have been found, and this is one of the ones from episode 8 that I haven't gotten to yet ^_^

It's used near the start of the ep, in the hallway of the dorm when Pran doesn't want to hold Pat's hand (but then changes his mind).

The Case of the Happy Nephew

Dinner at the Brown residence was interrupted by a phone call bringing news that The Princess Bake Shop had been robbed. A witness says he saw John Abbot – sidenote, he’s an ex-convict, just sayin’ – run out of the bakery. The Chief had to leave to investigate. Naturally, the chief of police brought his 10-year-old son along for the investigation.

The Chief and Encyclopedia went to the house where Abbot lived with his sister and her family. When they got there, Abbot came out of the house, holding a barefoot toddler; his nephew. The Chief told him to put the child down and put his hands where he could see them. Abbot almost put the kid down on the gravel driveway, but put it on the hood of a car parked in the driveway instead.

The Chief told Abbot that a witness saw him running from the bake shop. Abbot said he was nowhere near the bake shop. In fact, he had just got to his sister’s house five minutes earlier. He had just gotten in from a 12-hour road trip. He was alone, so no one could vouch for this story (except for maybe his sister, brother-in-law and anyone else in the house who is old enough to form sentences).

The Chief was ready to let the guy go, but Encyclopedia pointed out that if he had been driving his car all day up until five minutes ago, the hood of the car would be too hot for the barefoot kid.

Is “car hoods getting really hot” still a thing? Or was it just a thing back then?

OK, I know nothing of leading a life of crime, but I do know that if I was going to start spinning a web of lies, I would keep said web simple. Why tell this story about taking a 12-hour car ride when “I was home, alone the entire time,” would suffice?

This guy deserved to get caught.

This story also paints a chilling picture of the state of our nation’s prison system. If we concentrated less on retribution and more on rehabilitation, maybe Abbot – as well as many other ex-convicts – wouldn’t become recidivists.
