Framed Print of Gessner, Elephant, 16th Century
Gessner credits elephants as being the most intelligent animal, and as having emotions the most like humans of any other creature. He comments that its ivory has been traded as a luxury item around the known world for centuries. Historiae Animalium (Studies on Animals) is considered to be the first modern zoological work. This first attempt to describe many of the animals accurately is illustrated with hand-colored woodcuts drawn from personal observations by Gessner and his colleagues. Conrad Gessner (March 26, 1516 - December 13, 1565) was a Swiss naturalist and bibliographer. To his contemporaries he was best known as a botanist, but in 1551 he was the first to describe brown adipose tissue; and in 1565 the first to document the pencil. He died of the plague, at the age of 49, the year after his ennoblement. © NLM / Science Source
