Albinus 1747

Author: Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759)
Year: 1747
Description: Indian rhinoceros "Clara" shown in the background of plate 4 in the anatomical atlas by Bernard Siegfried Albinus, Tabulae sceleti et musculorum himanis corporis (1747)

Latin text of the edition of Lugduni Batavorum [Leiden], 1747

Caeterum hac in Tabula & in octavo, exhibita quoque figura Rhinocerotis foeminae, quae ineunte hoc anno apud nos fuit, annos habens, ut custodes ferebant, duos cum dimidio. Ob raritatem belluae putavi figuras eius gratiores fore, quam alia quaecumque ornamenta ab arbitrium excogitata. Accuratae sunt, justaeque magnitudinis ad rationem figuram hominis, quae his iisdam Tabulis continentur.
