Description
1827 Cuvier Animal Kingdom Illustrated Fossils Natural History Color PLATES Zoology
Often called The Father of Paleontology, Georges Cuvier was a French zoologist remembered for his plethora of essays and writings, most importantly Le Regne Animal, or The Animal Kingdom. First appearing in 1817, this book was a culmination of Cuviers lifes research on living and fossil animals as well as insects. This work is unique in that many similar anthologies writing during this time period were composed by multiple authors. The Animal Kingdom was solely by Cuvier, though it was translated into English by others.
Cuviers work played an important role in identifying whether or not animals were truly extinct. (Waggoner). This book illustrates many of those animals, both living and extinct, with hundreds of illustrations over the course of the set. This 1827 second volume contains descriptions of many of the worlds most famous mammals – big cats, bears, wolves, hyenas, and many others!
According to Lowndes,
“A work no less distinguished for its scientific accuracy than for it interesting details of the habits of animals.”
