Each animal is depicted in a complete external view as well as in beneath-the-skin drawings of musculature and skeletal structure. Lewis S. Born of the American Museum of Natural History enlarged this classic reference with 25 plates collected from George Stubbs's Anatomy of the Horse, long unavailable; Straus-Durckheim's Anatomie Descriptive et Comparative du Chat; and Cuvier and Laurillard's Anatomie Comparée.
