Framed Print of 1761 Buffon Naturalist Zoologist Portrait
Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. French naturalist (7 September 1707 - 16th April 1788). Steel engraving 1833 by Robert Hart with later colouring, from the painting by F.H. Drouais 1761. Buffon is remembered for his thirty six volume Histoire Naturelle 1749-1788. Lavishly illustrated it covered the animal and mineral kingdoms. He provided inter-fertility as the criterion for members of a species. He often dared to think beyond the literal truth of the Biblical account of Genesis on such matters as the Earths age and reproduction. He even entertained ideas that species may transform from their state at the original creation, while at the same time maintaining the fixity of species. All this earned him the condemnation of the Faculty of Theology of the Sorbonne, but did not limit his success or respect as the most widely read author of natural history in the 18th Century. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © This image is Paul D. Stewart 2009.
