About the Item

Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière, Tom. VIII Pl. XXI, p. 154 Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1771 Engraving on laid paper Plate size: approx. 24.5 × 19.5 cm This anatomical plate illustrates the digestive and reproductive organs of a small mammal, rendered with scientific precision in the refined linear style characteristic of the Histoire Naturelle. The composition is organized into four numbered figures within a ruled border. The plate demonstrates the Enlightenment commitment to empirical observation and classification. The engraving technique relies on precise, controlled line work: fine parallel hatching defines volume, while subtle cross-hatching models shadow and depth. The overall clarity and restraint of the composition reflect the didactic purpose of the work. The plate bears the usual inscriptions within the upper margin: “Tom. VIII” at left and “Pl. XXI. Pag. 154” at right. At the lower margin appear the credits “Buvée del.” (draughtsman) and “Baron sculp.” (engraver), identifying the artists responsible for the drawing and the engraving.
