Note

"Originally published in 1851 as 'The iconographic encyclopedia of science, literature, and art, " this work was based on the famed 'Bilderatlas,' by Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus ... Spencer Baird translated the captions and text from the original German, and those captions have been included here, although the text has not, since it would be thoroughly outdated"--Introd
