This original antique print originates from 'Naturgeschichte Abbildungen der Saugethiere' by H. R. Schinz, published by J. F. Schleijer c.1825. This work on mammals was part of a series of volumes issued covering all aspects of natural history, including birds, fish, reptiles and mammals. The plates were lithographed by Carl Joseph Brodtmann (1787-1862) one of the most accomplished Swiss lithographers of the day.
Artists and Engravers: The author Heinrich Rudolf Schinz (1777-1861) was a Swiss physician and naturalist. Schinz was born at Zurich and studied medicine at Wurzburg and Jena, returning to Zurich in 1798 to practice. In 1804 he became a teacher at the medical institute, and in 1833 he became extraordinary professor of natural history at the university of Zurich.
Condition: Good. General age related toning and light staining and/or soiling from handling. Light foxing. A few minor soft creases. Please study scan carefully.
