Marmot of Quebec is an original lithograph on ivory-colored paper, realized by Paul Gervais (1816-1879). The artwork is from The Series of "Les Trois Règnes de la Nature", and was published in 1854. Good conditions except for some fixings. The artwork is a colored representation of a Marmot of Quebec. The series is part of "Les Trois Règnes de la Nature" (The Three Kingdoms of Nature), which deals with representations and precise anatomical studies of animals. In Gervais' s ouvre, the animal world is conveyed through elaborate aesthetics and scientific precision, in which the art of representation meets scientific accuracy. Paul Gervais (1816-1879) was a French zoologist and paleontologist. Gervais was doctor in science and medicine, and from 1841 he founded the Department of Zoology and Anatomy within the faculty of science in Montpellier, where he presided since 1856. Between 1848 and 1852 he compiled his important ouvre: "French Zoology and Paleontology." This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
