(Band 2)
This is a volume of Buffon's natural history, the second band, printed in 1771 and held by Heidelberg University Library, aimed at general readers of natural history. The four pictures are small rococo decorative tailpieces and headpieces, not natural history plates: a cherub beside a scrolled cartouche, two putti flanking a central shell-and-scroll ornament, a cornucopia-like scroll with leaves, and a leafy urn on a plinth, all cut in simple woodblock with crisp contours that a designer could adapt for vignette borders or dividers.
