Giraffa camelopardalis

Art Description

Charles Dessalines d'Orbigny (1849). This came from a French natural history dictionary published in 1849, one of 288 hand-colored engravings made to catalogue the animal kingdom. The giraffe was given a full plate to itself. It stands the way giraffes actually stand, which is like something that shouldn't exist but does anyway.
