Filled with strange and unfamiliar creatures, this is 1844 Aristide Michel Perrot chart of antediluvian animals. Seventy-five different animals and plants, dating from the epoch just after primordial times to the era before the last ice age, are depicted here, with Perrot having consulted fossil collections to create this stunning piece. A narrative situated below the chart traces the evolution of these creatures across five historical epochs, presenting the plants and animals illustrated above in a sort of context. Plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and pterodactyls are among the dinosaurs illustrated alongside mastodons and mammoths. Some more familiar animals, such as pangolins, wolves, and bats, are also included. The juxtaposition of the dinosaurs alongside beavers, bats, and herons gives the piece an aura that is both amusing and jarring. (more details)

This is a rare c. 1854 Aristide Michel Perrot and Oudart map or chart of animals, birds, fish, and trees that the French Société Impériale d'Acclimatation believed could be successfully brought to France from across the world. Seventy-five different species of animals and plants are intermixed and illustrated in brilliant gum arabic color. Some of the animals represented, such as the yak (which is described here as a cow with a horse's tail from Tibet), llama, Merino sheep, and Angora goat had already been domesticated and, in the case of the yak, used as a draft animal. The quagga, a now extinct type of zebra, is illustrated on the left next to the onager, or hemione, a species of wild ass native to Asia. With regard to the birds, the cassowary, ostrich, and rhea are among the more exotic illustrated, while the Indochinese chickens and mallard duck are perhaps the most familiar. A mandarin duck is illustrated sitting on the pond, which our New York City clients will be familiar with after one became a minor celebrity in the city after one appeared in Central Park last year and caused a minor stir among the city's residents. A kangaroo, bison, and water buffalo are also among the species presented. (more details)
