Antique etching by S. C. Miger (Simon Charles) 1736-1820 after Nicolas MARÉCHAL 1753-1803 Printed by Langlois, Paris: circa 1800-1. Rare colour-printed copper engraving, on wove paper. . Sheet size: 12 7/8 x 20 1/4 inches. Plate mark: 11 5/8 x 16 1/8 inches.
Full page plate with early colour, from Lacépède's "La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle," an important work of eighteenth-century French natural history illustration. A professor of zoology at the Museum of Natural History, the French naturalist Bernard-Germain-Étienne Delaville, Comte de Lacépède (1756-1825) published a number of books on zoology, physics, and music. He was greatly influenced by the pioneering naturalist Georges Louis Marie Leclerc, comte de Buffon, whom he succeeded as Intendant at the Jardin du Roi, which later became the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793. During his tenure, Lacépède completed a comprehensive study of amphibians and reptiles, Historie Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens, which was published as a supplement to Buffon's magnum opus on animal classification Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière. In 1800-1, he published the first edition of La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, a thorough survey of the various species of quadrupeds, reptiles and amphibians in the impressive collection of the Museum of Natural History. This comprised of descriptive text written by Lacépède and his colleague Georges L. C., Baron Cuvier (1769-1832) as well as a number of plates after natural history artists of the period, Nicolas Maréchal (1753-1803), Nicolas Huet (1770-1830) and Léon de Wailly (1801-1824). Painted from life on rag paper, these illustrations captured the appearance of the animals in the Paris menagerie.£325 or substantially less at the shop due to excess size

Maki

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) and Werner The engravings were produced from drawings by highly skilled naturalists working at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris.13 1/4 x 20 inches sheet £35 each inc delivery Some edge fraying well out of plate area
