Otarie Molosse
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
