Vintage Hippo Canvas Print by Charles Dessalines circa 1849.
Charles Dessalines D’Orbigny, a French naturalist, botanist and geologist, was born in 1706 into a family of naturalists and explorers, the most well known being his older brother Alcide, a noted zoologist and paleontologist. The “Dictionnaire Universel d’Histoire Naturelle”, published in Paris by Renard & Martinet in 1849, was edited by Charles D’Orbigny and is considered one of the best illustrated encylopedias of natural history. It consisted of 3 volumes and contained 288 hand colored engravings.
