Originally coloured lithographs with different mammals
from "Histoire Naturelle des Mammiferes ..."
by E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire & F. Cuvier, Paris
1819-1842, in cooperation with many well-known artists
and lithographers of that time (see single pages).
Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844) was a
French zoologist, who - together with Georges Cuvier
(1769-1832) and Jean-Baptist Lamarck (1744-1829) - decisively
influenced the development of Paleo-Biology in the 19th
century. Frederic Cuvier (1773-1838), the younger brother
of Georges Cuvier, was director of the zoological department
of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
