Dodo Dronte Raphus cucullatus - a print by Frederick William Frohawk, published in 1905 in Lionel Rothschild's "Extinct Birds".

The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. This plate engraved by Frederick Frohawk and published in "Extinct Birds" was based on the picture by Roelandt Savery in Berlin, but the wings, tail and bill have been based partly on Pierre Witthoos' picture of the white Dodo, and partly from anatomical examination. Extinct Birds (complete title: Extinct birds. An attempt to unite in one volume a short account of those Birds which have become extinct in historical times—that is, within the last six or seven hundred years. To which are added a few which still exist, but are on the verge of extinction.) is a book by Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild (1868 – 1937) which covers globally extinct and rare birds as well as hypothetical extinct species. Only 300 copies of the book were published in 1907 at Hutchinson and Co. in London.

Frederick William Frohawk (1861 – 1946) was an English zoological artist and lepidopterist. Frohawk was born at Brisley Hall, East Dereham, Norfolk, the son of a gentleman farmer. The youngest child in the family, his interest in drawing and natural history was nurtured by his mother. At seven he spotted and caught a rare pale clouded yellow butterfly. The family moved to Great Yarmouth and later Ipswich where he found many interesting butterflies. After the death of his father around 1873, the family moved to Croydon and later South Norwood. He went to school at Norwood College and during this time contracted typhoid leading to near blindness in one eye. In 1880 the family moved to Upper Norwood and here Frohawk concentrated on illustration and obtained his first commission for illustrating The Field. Frohawk was encouraged in his work by Lord Walter Rothschild, who later bought his water-colours of butterflies. He married Margaret Grant in June 1895 who died in 1907 leaving him to care for two daughters. In 1909 he married Mabel Jane Hart Bowman and they had a third daughter Valezina, named after a form of the silver-washed fritillary. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society in 1891.

Works great
Color: Medium Glow
This works great and darkens skin to a beautiful light tan but does somewhat wash off the next day so it does require reapplying the next day. I would purchase this again.

A good starter kit
A really good starter kit, the tan isn’t orangey and applies pretty easily. It doesn’t get super dark. The lotion is good to make the tan last longer but wash your hands really well or they’ll have dark splotches. The spray isn’t amazing and can look streaky

Works good
Color: Medium Glow
It smells like tropical scent after putting it on. The smell lingers for about an hour or two. It is not bad though, I like it- reminds me of summer scent. Instant tan works very quick. I am very fair I see no sun so, I put two layers on yesterday and two layers on today. I am significantly tanner. I only use my hands to spread it in, it would work better with less streaks if using a tool to help spread the product evenly. It leaves my skin feeling very smooth and hydrated and I like the color and scent, I like how it has hydrolaunic acid and vitamin c. Works good and stays on. I was able to convince my husband it was good to have because of the hydrolaunic acid and the vitamin c, I said it's a 3-in-1! I also bought this during black Friday week so, got it for a good price.

Quick drying, non sticky lotion!
Color: Medium Glow
Great even color and dries immediately. This formula is not sticky at all. The color may not be as dark as the gel or foam, but is very natural.

Unbeatable Value for the Price!!
I’m so impressed with the packaging of this kit! It came with the cutest little bag, perfect for the pool or beach. The product sizes are much larger than I expected, and the mitt is excellent quality. I haven’t tried everything yet, but I’m really excited to. For the price, this kit is a fantastic value considering how much you get! One small note: the “Gimme the Glow Down” spray could’ve been filled a bit more (see photo). I did test a quick spritz on my face, it felt refreshing, but did have that classic self-tanner scent and left a slight sticky residue. Nothing major, though. I’ll update once I see the full results on other products! UPDATE: I LOVE THESE PRODUCTS! The tan is so even and gives a great glow to my skin. I wash my face twice a day so I use the glow down spray to refresh the tan. I used this self tanner for my engagement photos and it looked like I just came from the beach! (See last photo)
