Taken from the 10th volume Buffon's "Histoire Naturelle, Générale Et Particulière, Avec La Description Du Cabinet Du Roi". Histoire Naturelle is a monumental natural history encyclopedia published sequentially in 36 volumes between 1749–1804. Consistent with its age, the engraving was printed on laid paper. Sheet size: 6-1/2 x 3-3/4 inches; print size: 5 x 3 inches; visible plate-line. The colophon pages are shown for authentication, and a copy of the originals is provided. Very slight age-related toning; otherwise, very good condition with strong coloring. See less
