About this sheet

Antique print titled 'De Brak, Patrijshond'. Original antique print of a partridge dog. This print originates from 'Volledige Natuurlijke Historie der Zoogdieren', a Dutch edition of 'Naturgeschichte Abbildungen der Saugethiere' by H. R. Schinz, published in Amsterdam by J. F. Schleijer 1845. The author Heinrich Rudolf Schinz (1777-1861) was a Swiss physician and naturalist. Schinz was born at Zurich and studied medicine at Wurzburg and Jena, returning to Zurich in 1798 to practice. In 1804 he became a teacher at the medical institute, and in 1833 he became extraordinary professor of natural history at the university of Zurich.
