Gesner was aware of fakery in the curio shops market, where dried rays were manipulated to look like dragons (Jenny Hanivers). [ 8] There may have also been fake mermaid-like creatures being imported from China by the Dutch. [ 9] The colored woodcut illustrations were the first real attempts to represent animals in their natural environment. It is the first book to illustrate fossils. [ 5] [ 10] Readers (children and adults alike) will savor and investigate this visual catalog over and over again. ... A museum in a book, with spectacular colored pen-and-ink drawings, presented in an elegant 11"x15" volume.

Animalium is literally for everyone. Its illustrations are enchanting enough to entertain the imagination of the younger children while its accurately curated texts by Jenny Brown are informative enough to feed the intellectual hunger of the older audience. Part oversized album and part encyclopedia, this "museum" of the animal kingdom showcases its variety and diversity with numerous examples from around the world. What distinguishes this collection from similar overviews is its presentation. The illustrations look like nature prints from long ago, but unlike those old engravings and lithographs, these fine-lined drawings began with pen and ink and were colored digitally. ... Overall, this impressive survey will surprise and please its visitors Patiesi krāšņa vizīte vienmēr atvērtā muzejā. Tūlīt, jau grāmatu atverot, ir milzīgs dzīvnieku valstības koks (attēlu ievietoju zemāk), kas man īpaši patika, jo palīdz saskatīt dzīvnieku radniecību un kopsakarības, kā arī vienā atvērumā, saglabājot visa dzīvā vienotības principu, parāda dzīvās dabas daudzveidību. Tas vislabāk patika arī dēlam. Ja mājās ir enciklopēdija par Latvijas dzīvo dabu, tad šī ir lieliska grāmata, lai paplašinātu redzesloku par pasauli.

Anzovin, p. 366 item 5210 The first fossil illustrations were contained in the Historia animalium, published in 1551 by Swiss physician and naturalist Conrad von Gessner. Gessner’s Historia animalium is based on classical sources. It is compiled from ancient and medieval texts, including the inherited knowledge of ancient naturalists like Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, [ 1] and Aelian. [ 2] Gessner was known as "the Swiss Pliny." [ 3] For information he relied heavily on the Physiologus. [ 3]There have been various academic studies relating to Gessner's inclusion of fantastical creatures in the volumes, such as the sea monk, sea bishop, or ichthyocentaur. [6] [7]

Animaliumpresents the animal kingdom in glorious detail with illustrations from Katie Scott, an unparalleled talent. There have been various academic studies relating to Gesner's inclusion of some fantastical-looking creatures in the volumes, such as sea monk, sea bishop, or ichthyocentaur.

As Dr. Sandra Knapp of London’s Natural History Museum observes in the forward, we share our planet with about two million other species of living things, and these show incredible diversity. But of course we don’t always get to see many of the marvelous creatures of this planet in our daily lives. The “Animalium” attempts to remedy that omission, bringing a virtual museum to you that is “open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.” It is also, as the author contends, “the only museum to house animals ancient and modern, enormous and tiny, vicious and vulnerable, between two covers.” And it is amazing.Gudger, E.
