Description

1800 Buffon Natural History Illustrated BIRDS Zoology Ornithology Owls Peacocks

"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 of natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, it focuses only minerals, birds, and quadrupeds. He was one of the first writers to give explanations to give scientific explanations to Animalia rather than use the biblical explanations of creation. The DSB mentions that

“Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science.”

This tome features a collection of Buffon plates of birds – geese, ducks, owls, chickens, peacocks, parakeets, and many more.
