The work was published between 1642 and 1657 in Bologna, Italy by N. Tebaldini for M. A. Bernia. As indicated by the title, the woodcut engravings in this work feature often imaginative, fantastic and strange creatures including deformed humans and animals. Aldrovandi was an Italian botanist, pharmacologist, and noted author. He channeled much of his life’s work into collecting, writing and illustrating different biological specimens. His collection is now on display in the University in Bologna. Guarantee: This print is an original antique print and not a modern reproduction. I guarantee this print to be authentic.
