About the Item

Plate from Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, générale et particulière. Tome XI – Plate VIII, p. 202. Paris, Imprimerie Royale, 1771. Engraving (etching and burin), approx. 24.5 × 19.5 cm. This finely composed anatomical plate presents a comparative study of horn structure and internal composition, combining full-profile views with magnified sectional analyses. The arrangement is symmetrical and analytical, reflecting Buffon’s method of examining external morphology alongside internal microstructure. This plate belongs to Buffon’s investigations into structural morphology, examining the composition of horns and related anatomical features. The comparison of full external form with sectional and magnified internal views reflects 18th-century advances in anatomical and material study. The quarto format (24.5 × 19.5 cm) corresponds to the 1771 Imprimerie Royale edition, noted for its clarity, precision, and refined engraving.
