Historical Information: This beautiful engraving has been selected from a French work entitled La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, published in Paris between 1800 and 1801 under the supervision of Lacepede. It is a thorough survey of the various species of quadrupeds, reptiles and amphibians in the impressive collection of the Museum of Natural History. This magnificent work was comprised of descriptive text written by Lacepede and his colleagues Georges Cuvier as well as a number of finely rendered plates after the most eminent natural history artists of the period: Nicolas Martinet, Nicolas Huet and Leon de Wally. painted from life on vellum, these beautifully detailed illustrations faithfully captured the appearance of the wondrous animals in the Paris menagerie.
