A. Belin, Paris, 1820; Circa 1820 hand colored lithograph of a civet cat, an original plate from "Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes," landmark zoological study by most celebrated of French naturalists, Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844), in conjunction with Frederic Cuvier (1773-1838). A formidable work, "Histoire Naturelle" was published over the period 1818-1842, eventually cataloguing well over 500 species of mammals and filling four bound volumes upon completion. The civet, a native of the tropics of South Asia and Africa, was of special curiosity to European high society of the time, as the animal’s musk was the essential ingredient in the manufacture of high quality perfumes. Drawn and colored by Jacques Christophe Werner, lithography by Carel Christian de Last. Sheet size 9 3/4" x 13". Margins trimmed, but remain generously wide. Fine condition, clean, crisp, brilliant, no chips or tears. A single microscopic pale speck in the blank margin at extreme right. Hinged and matted entirely acid free in 12" x 16" size, ready for framing.

Edinburgh, 1823; Circa 1823 hand colored copper engraving of the South American Capybara (Hydrochaerus capibara. Erxleben), world’s largest rodent, which reaches a mature size of up to four feet in length and three in girth and inhabits the banks of lakes and rivers, where it is distinguished for the webbed feet which make it an agile swimmer, and for its remarkable ability to submerge itself for long periods of time without resurfacing. Drawn by Alexander Mosses (1793-1837), who with no formal training developed into an acknowledged master draughtsman and painter of nature scenes, genre pieces, and portraiture, his subjects ranging from members of the privileged classes to common people. His portrait of prominent physician John Rutter hangs in the Royal Institution, Liverpoole, and his work is in the permanent collections of both the Walker Art Gallery and the National Galleries Of Scotland. Engraved by William Home Lizars (1788-1859), renowned not only for his art, but for being instrumental in…
