A collectible original print taken from - Oliver Goldsmith's History of Earth & Animated Nature Published: London 1870 These attractive hand-colored engravings are taken from Oliver Goldsmith's classic History of the Earth and Animated Nature, published by Blackie in Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London, 1866. The first edition (in eight volumes) appeared in London in 1774. The work sought to draw together virtually all that was known about the planet earth, its plants and animals, and even its human inhabitants described from a biological perspective. Goldsmith had intended to translate Pliny's Natural History, but after reading Buffon, he decided that "the best imitation of the ancients was to write from our own feelings and to imitate nature." Goldsmith's Animated Nature went through over twenty editions into the Victorian era and served as a popular source of information about the natural world. Comes mounted in a bespoke quality mount.
