Payan du Moulin

Verlag: Aix, 1875

This original illustration is from Payan du Moulin's manuscript entitled "Recueil d'Histoire Naturelle, Coquiller Vivanty et folliles minerologie.". It was completed in 1875 in Aix. Each illustration is either on laid, watermarked paper or quality woven paper and typically of sea life or ammonite native to France. --- The illustrations were after the collection of Payan du Moulin or found at Labedoule. Some are after illustrations by Picot, Laperouse, Creyn, Knorr, Walch, and Juan Fernandes. Many of the notes on the specimens are recorded to the page and were done by Professor Charles Lory of Grenoble University, a French Geologist. --- Payan du Moulin was a councillor at the court at Aix and an Officer in Charge of Public Instruction. He was strongly influenced by Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" and this is reflected in his natural history work. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 12 3/4" by 18 1/2".
