Published in 1560, this masterpiece of natural history is a testament to Gesner's dedication and passion for studying animals. The intricate details captured in this engraving are truly awe-inspiring. The artist, whose identity remains unknown, skillfully brings the crocodile to life on paper. Every scale and contour of its powerful body is meticulously depicted, showcasing the reptile's formidable presence.
