Comprises a general preface describing the entire project by Dufart an introduction to this volume by Manuel 101 GORGEOUS FULL-PAGE COLOR-PRINTED STIPPLE-ENGRAVED PLATES OF MAMMALS IN EXOTIC LANDSCAPES usually two scenes per plate after Deseve and other artists and descriptive notes on each mammal depicted by Manuel. 30 pp. 101 plates 60 pp. Dedicated to Napoleon. Text printed on fine wove paper plates on very fine thick wove paper. After the appearance of this volume the project was suspended because the publishers could not find enough subscribers there is a list of the 24 who subscribed to this first volume on the back of the half-title. The reasons for this failure are obvious: each volume cost a staggering 60 francs not including the binding and the images of the animals although bright beautiful and charming are not particularly accurate.

Internally bright. Two copies in NUC. Quérard La France littéraire V 497 doubts the very existence of this work: ".ne paraît avoir été que projeté car on n'en trouve mention nulle autre part que dans le vol. de M. Debray."
