The Zoological Sketches are two volumes of 100 plates published between 1857 and 1867. They show particularly rare animals from Regent's Park in London, which Joseph Wolf captured in watercolours and on the basis of which Joseph Smit made lithographs. The edited notes were written by David William Mitchell, Secretary of the Zoological Society. After his death his successor, Philip Lutley Sclater, took over the work and completed the volumes.
