    Description of Egypt
    Vol: 2 Pl. 55
    Title: Thebes. Hypogea.
    Description: Crocodile, snake and dog mummies and details
    Geoffrey of Saint-Hilaire 1772-1844
    French naturalist
    He has been interested in mummified sacred animals for thirty centuries. These animals are intact.
    They kept all their bones, all their hair. We realize that they are perfectly similar to those of today. This collection of mummies will revive the debate on the fixity of species, which opposes Cuvier to Lamarck.
    Engraving very popular with cabinets of curiosities.
    etching
    Collection of observations and research that were made in Egypt during the expedition of the French army, published by the orders of His Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great (1809-1829)
