Historical Note
Adriaen Collaert (1560–1618), Flemish engraver who engraved the illustrations for two books on natural history subjects, one on fishes in 1610, the other on mammals in 1612. In these beautiful engravings the artist not only provides us with a generous array of the subject, but also gives us an exquisite landscape as a setting.
