Asian One-horned Rhinoceros ~ Year 1849

This rhinoceros (rhino) once roamed across most of Asia, but now it’s found mainly in India and Nepal, and is returning to Bhutan. The last remaining population of Javan rhinos are now only found in one protected area, Ujung Kulon National Park on the island of Java. Sumatran rhinos are found in Sumatra, with a few individuals remaining in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Originally published by the famous Charles d'Orbigny, in 'Dictionnaire Universel D’histoire Naturelle Atlas', one of the most celebrated works on Natural History from the 19th century.

Charles d'Orbigny (1802 – 1857) was a French naturalist who made major contributions in many areas, including zoology, malacology, paleontology, geology, archaeology and anthropology. His contemporary, Charles Darwin, arrived in South America in 1832, and on hearing that he had been preceded, grumbled that D'Orbigny had probably collected "the cream of all the good things'. Darwin later called D'Orbigny's Voyage a "most important work". They went on to correspond, with D'Orbigny describing some of Darwin's specimens.
