This print is among 1200 plates from this most
extensive work, published from 1775-1780 by the extremely prolific author Pierre
Joseph Buchoz (1731-1807, also spelled as Buch’oz or Buc’hoz). He was a French
physician and naturalist who served as physician to the king of Poland. He left
his post to pursue his interest in natural history and published vast
illustrated folios on botany, books on mineralogy, agriculture, ornithology and
medicine. The attractive plates are mostly based on original drawings in the
Collection des Vélins of the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris.
Artists’ names on the the copper-engravings seldom occur and as engraver Fessard
is sometimes mentioned.
