Mythical hybrid creature, 16th century C013 / 7632
Mythical hybrid creature. 16th-century artwork of a beast called a camphruch, said to be an amphibious beast from Indonesia. It has a single horn, hooves on its front legs and webbed feet on its back legs. Reports of such hybrid creatures were due to combining reports and remains of different animals. Artwork from Cosmographie universelle (1575) by the French explorer and writer Andre Thevet (1516-1590). This book described the history and geography of the lands in which Thevet had travelled. The two volumes and four tomes contain over 1000 pages divided into 23 books. This woodcut is from chapter V of book XII
