Brehm, Alfred Edmund
"Het Leven der Dieren: Deel 1, Hoofdstuk 11: De Evenvingerigen" by Alfred Edmund Brehm is a chapter from a zoological encyclopedia first published in the 1860s. Part of one of the first modern popular zoological treatises, this work emerged from Brehm's travels to Abyssinia, Scandinavia, and Siberia. The encyclopedia gained wide approval from educated audiences and made Brehm famous worldwide. Its illustrations were praised by Charles Darwin as the best he had ever seen, helping establish this ambitious reference work across multiple languages and generations.
