    Apr. 02, 2025

    Georges-Louis Leclerc comte de BUFFON.

    Est: €500 - €700

    L.S., au Jardin du Roi 12 juillet 1787, à Monseigneur 2 pages in-fol. (portrait gravé joint). Il remercie de l’intérêt porté à son fils. Il a écrit au maréchal de Ségur « en le priant de rendre compte au Roi du sacrifice volontaire que mon fils fait aujourd’hui par honneur, et ce sacrifice est grand, car il perd la promesse du grade de Colonel. Je n’ai pas craint de demander au Ministre l’équivalent, et en attendant on pourroit l’employer dans l’état-major des troupes qu’on rassemble à Givet »… Il ajoute que « le Comte de Mercy, ambassadeur de l’Empereur, qui a des bontés pour moi, a prévenu la Reine sur ma demande, et l’a trouvée favorablement disposée ».

    Georges-Louis Leclerc Comte de Buffon (French, 1707-1788) - Six Owls Hand Colored Etchings. From the book: Naturgeschichte der Vogel. The book was published by Joseph Brunn between 1786 to 1807 in Vienna. 12.5x7.5cm (each). Buffon's work became one of the most informative sources as far as the visual appearance of animals, and was highly understandable for a wide audience. Buffon described his work and love for natural history by stating that, Natural history embraces all the objects the universe presents to us. This prodigious multitude of quadrupeds, birds, fish, insects, plants, minerals, etc., offers to the curiosity of the human mind a vast spectacle, of which the whole is so great that the details are inexhaustible.
