Description: This attractive original old antique print / plate / map originates from: 'Spectacle de la Nature.', by Noel-Antoine Pluche, published in Paris in 1732.

Artists and Engravers: Pluche (1688-1761), known as the Abbé Pluche, was a French priest. He is best known for his work titled 'Spectacle de la nature, ou Entretiens sur les particularités de l'Histoire naturelle qui ont paru les plus propres à rendre les jeunes gens curieux et à leur former l'esprit.' This was published in 1732, and influenced many to become naturalists.
