This 1862 broadside by Juan Llorens, titled "Cuadrupedos, copiados de la Historia Natural," is an illustrative guide to 36 quadrupeds. Llorens, a Spanish printmaker, created this work using a wood-engraving technique, showcasing his artistic skill. Each animal is depicted in a simple, stylized manner, accompanied by Spanish descriptions, making this an educational tool for the general public to learn about different species. This broadside is an example of 19th-century printmaking and serves as a record of the visual representation of animals during that period.
