Verschillige dieren. / Différens animaux 1842 - 1856

This colorful, detailed print by P.J. Delhuvenne, titled "Verschillige dieren. / Différens animaux", is a charming example of 19th-century natural history illustration. Featuring twelve animals, it showcases a diverse range of species, from the familiar tapir and giraffe to the less common eland and llama. The artwork is arranged in a grid of four rows and three columns, with each square dedicated to a different animal. Each animal is depicted with its Dutch and French name, suggesting a wide-reaching audience. This print is a fascinating example of the intersection of art and science in the 19th century.
