Titelpagina voor het zevende deel van de viervoeters 1809 - 1814

This title page, created by Joseph van Huerne between 1809 and 1814, serves as the introduction to the seventh volume of a multi-part work about quadrupeds. The title page is written in a clear, elegant script, featuring both Latin and Dutch text, which points to the importance of scientific classification in the period. The delicate linework and careful lettering suggest a meticulous approach to the subject matter, reflecting the growing interest in natural history during the Enlightenment and beyond. This artwork exemplifies the visual culture associated with scientific exploration in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, reflecting a desire to document and understand the natural world.
