Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Spiders and Their Spinningwork, Vol. 3: A Natural History of the Orbweaving Spiders of the United States, With Special Regard to Their Industry and Habits
I count it a duty as well as a pleasure to place among the number of those entitled to my public thanks the name of Miss Elizabeth F. Bonsall, who has made the original drawings for nearly all the plates contained in the atlas. Her faithful and successful work has not always been correctly reproduced by lithographers and colorists, but for the most part it speaks for itself in the admirable rendering from life of the species which she has figured.
