Description:
1781 BIRDS Art Buffon Natural SCIENCE Illustrated Flamingo Seagull Pelican "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.
