This reproduction of an antique engraving depicts the Bezoar Ibex, ancestor of the domestic goat, shown with the male, female, and their young. The naturalist scene places these ruminant mammals in a steep rocky landscape, faithful to the scientific observations recorded by Charles d'Orbigny in the 19th century.
Taken from the prestigious Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (1841-1849), this plate illustrates the era's biological synthesis ambition. The precise line and rendering of animal textures demonstrate the know-how of French illustrators at the service of scientific popularization and classic animal iconography.
Ideal for a cabinet of curiosities style decoration or a study office, this wild ibex illustration is aimed at wildlife enthusiasts and historical print collectors. It constitutes a precious visual testimony on the representation of living creatures and the hierarchy of species in the past century.
