Artists

The artists were not a rich man’s frivolous addition to his entourage but an essential part of a scientific team in the age before photography. Their principal task was to draw the specimens that the scientists collected. Although the naturalists, such as Banks, intended to preserve some of their specimens and take them home to England, it would not be practical to do so with all of them. Banks also expected to dissect certain animals, and the artists would preserve a record of this work. In addition to their scientific drawings, Banks wanted the artists to sketch the people and places they visited.

Which of the following can be inferred from the text?

a) Dissecting specimens was not as useful as taking them to England.b) Photography eventually made scientific expeditions more productive.c) Artists performed a variety of tasks in early scientific explorations.d) Naturalists themselves were often talented artists.
