Exactly what I was looking for. I wonder why I wasn't able to find it (probably because if he was just listed as "illustrator" in the list of Setons I was looking at, I would have ignored it).

<p>Does the name "Seton", of Seton Academy, have any particular meaning, particularly referring to wild animals? I tried looking up whether it was the name of a famous zoologist, or biologist, or taxonomist, or something similar, and came up blank.</p>
