This picture of a unicorn with a mane was engraved on brass and included in the 1678 edition of this book. It is taken from Tab. XI.

Monoceros seu Unicornu Iubatus
Einhorn mit mahnen.

Which is, Unicorn with mane. The maned unicorn is of course today very rare outside the Black Forest region of Germany and parts of northern Scotland, especially near Hogwarts School.
