We are pleased to offer these original, recently hand colored engravings from George Louis Leclerc Buffon. A student of the Academy of Science, Buffon influenced the separation of science from theology, even before Darwin's theory of evolution. He suggested that man and ape may be connected through a scientific, common ancestry. In addition, Buffon challenged existing religious dogmas and acknowledged that new theories were needed, believing that the Earth was more than 6,000 years old. These beautiful illustrations present mammals in their natural, historical backgrounds.
The prints measure approximately 7 ½ inches wide by 10 inches long and are fully hand colored by one of the few remaining professional colorists following descriptions & images of the species illustrated. Some have mostly marginal foxing or toning as shown. Please review the scans carefully as they are very accurate. All our prints are antique prints guaranteed to be the stated age. These prints date from the mid to late 1700s and are guaranteed to be at least 200 years old.
