1800ref. 14404Paris: Printed by Langlois 1800. Rare colour-printed copper engraving on wove paper. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling minor foxing and a tiny nick at the edge of the right margin. A beautiful plate with stunning early colour from Lacépède's "La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle" an important scholarly work and one of the finest examples of eighteenth-century French natural history illustration. A professor of zoology at the Museum of Natural History the French naturalist Bernard-Germain-Étienne Delaville Comte de Lacépède 1756-1825 was a versatile and precocious scholar who published a number of books on zoology physics and music. He was greatly influenced by the pioneering naturalist Georges Louis Marie Leclerc comte de Buffon whom he succeeded as Intendant at the Jardin du Roi which later became the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle in 1793. During his tenure Lacépède completed a comprehensive study of amphibians and reptiles Historie Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens which was published as a supplement to Buffon's magnum opus on animal classification Histoire Naturelle Générale et Particulière. In 1800-1 he published the first edition of La Menagerie du Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle a thorough survey of the various species of quadrupeds reptiles and amphibians in the impressive collection of the Museum of Natural History. This magnificent work was comprised of descriptive text written by Lacépède and his colleague Georges L. C. Baron Cuvier 1769-1832 as well as a number of finely rendered plates after the most eminent natural history artists of the period Nicolas Maréchal 1753-1803 Nicolas Huet 1770-1830 and Léon de Wailly 1801-1824. Painted from life on vellum these beautifully detailed illustrations faithfully captured the appearance of the wondrous animals in the Paris menagerie. A pupil of J. G. Wille and C. N. Cochin Simon Charles Miger was a royal academician and a talented engraver who executed numerous portraits and natural history plates.
