Georges Baron Cuvier
Insects (1)
The exquisite hand-colored engravings below are cut from the first English edition of Georges Léopole Chrétien Frédéric Dagobert, Baron Cuvier's (1769-1832), classic Animal Kingdom: Arranged in Conformity with Its Organization . . . With Additional Descriptions of All the Species Hitherto Named, and of Many not before Noticed, edited by Edward Griffith et al andprinted for George B. Whittaker, London (1827-35) . Originally published in French in 1817 as Le Règne animal destribué d'après son organisation, this work was the "most influential exposition of the typological approach to animal classification, representing the greatest body of zoological facts that had yet been assembled; it served as the standard zoological manual formost of Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century"--Norman Library. The plates are printed on fine"Whatman" paper and have very little age toning. These plates are dated "1831" or "1832," and specify a scientific name; no common names are given. Most plates do not state the artist's name.

Size: 9.25 x 5.75 inches.
