Postcard: 869 - Paris - Jardin des Plantes - Rhinoceros - J.H. On reverse: J. Hauser, photo-edit., Paris. Specimen of Rhinoceros unicornis in the Museum of Natural History, Paris. Undated.
This is the mounted specimen which was exhibited in the menagerie of Versailles 1770-1793. The horn does not belong to the same animal, in fact it is an 81 cm long horn of a white rhinoceros which was attached to the exhibit for some time, but has since been removed. |
