Sobre este artículo
1781 BIRDS Art Buffon Natural SCIENCE Illustrated Flamingo Seagull Pelican
"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'"
― Ernst Mayer
The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, "Histoire Naturelle," was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, he focused on the individual orders of living things. The DSB mentions that
"Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science."
This eighth volume from 'Birds' contains 38 impressive illustrations including views of flamingoes, plover, terns, waterthrush, moorhens, coots, pelicans, herons, seagulls, and many others!
