Vintage Collection of Animal Skeleton Illustrations Jeremy Warlen

This is a rare collection of vintage illustrations of animal skeletons and anatomy. All the drawings done in this book were done by Edouard Joseph d'Alton in 1821-1838. The wide range of animals his work covers (or rather uncovers) include elephants and hippopotamuses, hyenas and polar bears, giraffes and camels, porcupines and red squirrels, as well as the extinct megatherium or giant ground sloth. They are depicted both as complete skeletons inside a silhouette of the living animal and also in separate studies of individual skulls and other bones.
