Marte
des Palmiers
The
first large scale illustrated treatise
on animals published in the early 19th century. Before the
publication of the Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes (also known as
Animal Kingdom), pictures of exotic animals were often quite
unsatisfactory as subjects were scarce and usually in poor
condition. Sometimes the artists had only inadequate notes or an
oral description of an animal with which to create an image. In
Europe for example an artist could not produce a satisfactory
portrait of a lion, elephant or monkey unless he had access to a
"menagerie. The Animal Kingdom was an immediate success both
publicly and scientifically. The text was written by Georges L.C.
Baron Cuvier (1769-1832) and the drawings were after Nicholas
Marechal (1753-1803). The engravings were produced from drawings by
highly skilled naturalists working at the Jardin des Plantes in
Paris.13 1/4 x 20 inches sheet £25 each inc Some edge fraying
