Zoology

The study of animal life in all its forms—winged, scaled, finned, and furred. This collection unites the great branches of zoological illustration: Entomology, the intricate world of insects; Herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians; Ichthyology, devoted to fishes; Mammalogy, exploring the diversity of mammals; and Ornithology, celebrating the life and flight of birds. Together, these restored plates trace the evolution of scientific observation, where art and taxonomy converge to reveal the structure, beauty, and interconnectedness of the animal kingdom.
