Description

Engraving of Buffon - Black Atlas of Œuvres Complètes de Buffon

These engravings were published separately at the time, with the plates grouped together in portfolios called livraisons. The buyer was then free to have them bound together or framed.

Deliveries could be numerous, with around thirty engravings per delivery for this edition. The engravings shown here are from the 11th, 17th and 24th issues, which make up only a small part of Buffon's works.
