Original antique equestrian art print an engraving of horses from Merian & Jonston's Historia Naturalis. The work was published in Amsterdam in 1660 by J. J. Schipper. Matthias Merian completed the copper plate engravings after the original drawings of John Jonston.
John Jonston studied medicine and natural sciences St. Andrews, Cambridge, and Leiden. He published major natural history studies, including Thaumatographia Naturalis in 1632. The work detailed knowledge of astronomy, paleontology, plants, animals and man. He also published Theatrum Universale Omnium Animalium in 1650. The plates for this work were after his own drawings and engraved by Matthias Merian. The images were of a wide range of animal species.
