About the Item

Plate from Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, Générale et Particulière. Paris: Imprimerie Royale, 1770s (Tom. VIII, 1771 ed.). Tom. VIII – Plate XXIII, p. 154 Copper engraving Sheet size: approx. 24.5 × 19.5 cm This anatomical engraving from Volume VIII of Buffon’s Histoire Naturelle presents a detailed osteological study of the forelimb and wing structure of a bat, illustrating the remarkable skeletal adaptations that enable flight. Executed in fine copper engraving with restrained tonal modeling, the plate exemplifies Enlightenment comparative anatomy. By isolating and extending the skeletal elements against a neutral field, the composition transforms anatomical structure into visual demonstration, revealing the mechanical principles underlying mammalian flight. The clarity of line and analytical presentation reflect Buffon’s broader scientific aim: to classify and understand species through detailed morphological comparison.
