Note:	John Scott: One of England's most famous engravers of animals, John Scott was apprenticed to a tallow-chandler in Newcastle. He moved to London around 1792 and was taught drawing and engraving by the coaching artist, Robert Pollard. Scott first gained employment as a portrait engraver and then for a series of etchings depicting English cathedrals. After 1795, however, he was regularly commissioned by important periodicals such as 'Daniel's Rural Sports' and 'Sportsman's Cabinet'. (This original engraving may have served as a frontispiece to one of these publishers.)
	The title of this engraving refers to the esteemed French naturalist, George-Louis-Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, who produced his first volume of animal study in 1749. Appearing under the general title of Histoire Naturelle , Buffon continued to produce many more volumes until his death in 1788. Initially, this engraving was probably accompanied by text delineating Buffon's anatomy of the horse according to the corresponding letters.
