Title: A description of the nature of four-footed beasts
City: London
Date: 1678
Total items: 11
Some images taken from A description of the Nature of Four-Footed Beasts, With their Figures Engraven in Brass, written in Latin by Dr. John Johnston. Translated into English by J. P.
The author is referred to in catalogues as Jonstonus, Joannes (1603-1675). The book was published in London.
The book is online at University of Wisconsin Digital Collections under History of Science and Technology; I requested (and obtained) permission to use the impages, which the University has confirmed are in the public domain; I also place (in case there is any question) my own versions of the images in the public domain, so you can use them in any way you like.
You will find here (eventually) not only copies of the page images from Wisconsin University, but also cleaned-up versions of the scans, with individual animals in separate files.
Note: If you got here from a search engine and don’t see what you were looking for, it might have moved onto a different page within this gallery.
