These prints taken from this wonderful 148 year old book are universally considered to be the very finest of Victorian animal prints. The printing plates were made of limestone and the plates were printed using a complex colour lithograph printing method and hand finished, they are reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints. Both this style and the prints themselves are very rare. Published for sale to wealthy Victorian families as an aid to their children's understanding of natural history, this book, by the usage of some of the most attractive antique prints of animals that have ever been made sought to give children of the era not just an idea of what these exotic animals looked like, but of their natural habitat.
