These beautiful prints are from Oliver Goldsmith's History of the Earth and Animated Nature.  This general reference work featured "numerous notes from the works of the most distinguished British and foreign naturalists" on birds, mammals, insects and fish.  A unique feature of the prints is that the subjects are placed in a natural setting, hence giving a sense of "animation" to their presentation.
