Coins et coiffes un peu émoussés. Ces volumes publiés à Paris en 1835 représentent une extension significative de l'uvre originale de Buffon figure emblématique des Lumières françaises grâce à l'apport de Georges Cuvier éminent naturaliste de son époque. Alors que Buffon avait posé les bases de la zoologie moderne Cuvier enrichit cet héritage en intégrant des découvertes postérieures sur la faune encore inconnue du premier. Cette collaboration posthume illustre l'évolution des sciences naturelles au début du XIXe siècle marquant un pont entre le siècle des Lumières et les avancées scientifiques du XIXe siècle reflétant ainsi la continuité et l'expansion du savoir à travers les générations.

It has been said that "Truly Buffon was the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century." His anthology on Natural history has been reprinted and translated numerous times this being an earlier edition in original French.

Spine with 5 raised bands red morocco label in second compartment green morocco label in fourth compartment gilt rolls on bands. Notes: Edme-Louis Daubenton 12 August 1730 – 12 December 1785 was a French naturalist. Daubenton was the cousin of another French naturalist Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton. Georges-Louis Leclerc the Comte de Buffon engaged Edme-Louis Daubenton to supervise the coloured illustrations for the monumental Histoire Naturelle 1749–89. The Planches Enluminee started to appear in 1765 and finally accounted for 1008 plates all engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet 1731–1800 and all painted by hand. The Parisian publisher Panckoucke published a version without text between 1765 and 1783. The Histoire Naturelle générale et particulière avec la description du Cabinet du Roi is an encyclopaedic collection of 36 large quarto volumes written between 1749 and 1789 by the Comte de Buffon. The books cover what was known of the "natural sciences" at the time including what would now be called material science physics chemistry and technology as well as the natural history of animals. A de luxe edition of Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux 1771–1786 was produced by the Imprimerie royale in 10 folio and quarto volumes with 1008 engraved and hand-coloured plates executed under Buffon's personal supervision by Edme-Louis Daubenton cousin and brother-in-law of Buffon's principal collaborator Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton. The plates were originally issued in 42 cahiers each containing 24 plates and no accompanying text or titles. Size: Folio 460 x 315mm Illustration: A beautifully bound collection of 100 handcoloured plates produced by Daubenton for the Comte de Buffon’s Histoire Naturelle which was issued in multiple parts between 1765 and 1783 and came to encompass over 1000 plates.

The present volume represents an impressive compilation of plates originally issued across different parts the numbering not always chronological.

Nissen and Heilbrun differ in the listing of number of plates and misname the descriptions of the plates. First edition of this extensive landmark work in natural science. After his death several other volumes were published making the total number of volumes 44. Together with Diderot's Encyclopaedia this work represents the peak of book printing of the French enlightenment. Buffon was the first to sum up an entire natural history based on science instead of theology; It constitutes one of the first attempts to provide a comprehensive account of the natural world aiming at describing the entire known natural world - including plants animals and minerals - in a single work. Buffon based his work on first-hand observations and scientific analysis rather than on second-hand accounts or mythological beliefs making it a seminal work in the development of modern science. "Buffon's "Natural History General and Particular" presented for the first time a complete survey of natural history in a popular form . he was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation. In 1739 he was appointed Director of the Jardin du Roi now Jardin des Plantes. It would appear that the 'Natural History germinated in the preparation of a catalogue of the royal collection. Buffon then enlarged its scope to Aristotelian or Plinian proportions and finally transformed it into a conspectus of nature of a breadth and depth previously unknown". … he was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation." PMM. Buffon's work had a significant impact upon the field of natural history and influenced many other scientists including Charles Darwin; In a part of the work "Des Epoqeus de la Nature" Supplement vol. V 1778 present here Buffon attacked several Christian doctrines on natural science. He saw man as a part of the animal world he objected to earth being only 6000 years old and he dismissed a rigid classification system thus paving the way for Darwin's thoughts a century later:"Georges Buffon set forth his general views on species classification in the first volume of his Histoire Naturelle. Buffon objected to the so-called "artificial" classifications of Andrea Cesalpino and Carolus Linnaeus stating that in nature the chain of life has small gradations from one type to another and that the discontinuous categories are all artificially constructed by mankind. Buffon suggested that all organic species may have descended form a small number of primordial types; this is an evolution predominantly from more perfect to less perfect forms." Parkinson Breakthroughs. "Buffon's work is of exceptional importance because of its diversity richness originality and influence. Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous science free of any theological influence. He emphasized the importance of natural history and the great length of geological time. He envisioned the nature of science and understood the roles of paleontology zoological geography and animal psychology. He realised both the necessity of transformism and its difficulties. Although his cosmogony was inadequate and his theory of animal reproduction was weak and although he did not understand the problem of classification he did establish the intellectual framework within which most naturalists up to Darwin worked." DSB From the library of Danish zoologist Jonas Collin 1840-1905 who issued a new edition of Kjærbølling's "The Birds of Scandinavia" in 1875-1877 See Anker 251 - a work most likely inspired by his knowledge from his i.e. the present copy of Buffon's "Histoire Naturelle".The 'Histoire Générale' was widely reprinted and translated. Sometimes only individual sections were produced other times the complete work appeared. PMM 198.Nissen 672.Brunet I 376.Dibner 193.Sparrow p. 23.Anker 6. hardcover
