Historiæ animalivm is a 1551 zoological natural history printed in Zurich by Christoph Froschauer, compiled by Conrad Gessner with contributions from Rondelet, Belon and Carronus for scholars and naturalists. Its pictures are small woodcuts of animals in side view, with fine hatched shading, showing how a designer can render fur, quills and antler texture with line alone.
