CZC-9011description populaire des races humaines et du règne animal, édition française revue par Z. Gerbe Complet en 2 volumes grand in-4, 20x29, reliés demi cuir, tranches de têtes dorées, 790 et 905 pages. Très nombreuses figures en noir dans le texte et hors texte. L'ouvrage fait encore référence chez les naturalistes par son caractère encyclopédique et humaniste. Brehm à fait un ouvrage de vulgarisation, il a notamment simplifié la classification pour que le néophyte trouve facilement ce qu'il cherche. Fort de son expérience en Afrique il agrémente certains articles de notion de chasse, beaux exemplaires de ce joli livre témoin d'une époque ou la diversité animal étonnait encore la plupart. Paris, Baillière & Fils, vers 1880
