About This Item
ANKER 69: "Written by one of the greatest connoisseurs of birds of the time, the work deals with 1336 species.... Brisson knew by sight more than 800 of the species he described.... The plates, which are folded, were drawn and engraved by Martinet. Both artistically and as accurate detail studies they are better than those of most of his predecessors"; NISSEN 145; ZIMMER, page 95: "One of the early systematic treatises on birds by a contemporary of Linnaeus."
