von Schubert (1780 - 1860)

ZOOLOGICAL

Dr. Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert was a German physician and naturalist. He gave renowned lectures on fringe science (animal magnetism, clairvoyance and dream), and in 1819 he occupied the chair in natural history in Erlangen where he studied botany, forestry, mineralogy and geognosy. These images have been taken from the original edition of von Schubert’s book “Vogel”, published in 1869 by Schreiber, Esslingen/Germany and have been aesthetically optimised to produce this range of prints.
