Samuel Daniell (1775-1811) was an English painter of natural history and other scenes in Africa and Ceylon. He first went to South Africa in 1799. Daniell is perhaps best known as the appointed artist for a 1799-1802 expedition to South Africa and the renderings he did there of African animals. During the trip to Bechuanaland, Daniell was named the official secretary and artist for the trip. The trip went from Cape of Good Hope to Bechuanaland. He returned to England from the expedition and co-published with his brothers William Daniell and Thomas Daniell, “African Scenery and Animals”, in 1804.
