Each volume ca. 500 pp. Fine complete set of a special edition of the works of George-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon 1707-1788 the most important natural historian of his day whose ground-breaking observations and classifications profoundly influenced biology geology and the natural sciences across Europe. This Brussels edition was edited by Professor Lamouroux correspondant of the Institut de France and enhanced with extensive contributions by Buffon's successors including Daubenton Lacépède Cuvier Duméril Poiret Lesson and Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire whose additions were appended to the relevant chapters to provide the most current scientific observations and refinements.The work opens with two prefaces by the publishers and two eulogies one on Buffon by Nicolas de Condorcet 1743-1794 and the other on Louis Jean Marie Daubenton 1716-1800 by Baron Cuvier 1796-1832 situating the compilation within its historical and intellectual context. The illustrations were produced under the supervision of M. Meunier draughtsman of the Cabinet dHistoire Naturelle and for the first time lithographed a technique that allowed according to the Paris publisher a far more faithful representation of living subjects than was previously possible with traditional engraving. The lithography was executed by Th. Lejeune in Brussels on specially prepared paper ensuring clarity and durability.The set is divided into four major sections. Théorie de la terre volumes 1-4 illustrating minerals fossils and natural phenomena along with emblematic and scientific designs. Histoire naturelle de lhomme volume 5 depicting human anatomy physiognomy and the diversity of peoples across the globe. Mammifères volumes 6-10 presenting mammals in remarkable anatomical and behavioural detail. Oiseaux volumes 11-14 illustrating the appearance and structure of birds in natural poses. All of these topics are also represented in 6 separate atlas volumes providing a complete visual complement to the text.In total the edition contains 738 lithographs maps and plates almost two-thirds of which depict mammals and birds in rich hand-colouring demonstrating both scientific precision and extraordinary artistry. This edition preserves Buffon's original genius while reflecting the cumulative expertise of successive generations of naturalists making it one of the most comprehensive visually impressive and historically significant editions of Buffons Oeuvres complètes ever produced.With a red ownership stamp on the title page and the recto of the first flyleaf of the first volume of Théorie de la Terre Dr. A.A. v.
