Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) was a Swedish biologist and physician, who formalized binomial nomenclature - the modern system of naming organisms. Linnaeus' system of binomial classification was originally published in 1735 as a series of seven folio broadsheets and was originally applied to plants only. As he collected new data, Linnaeus revised and updated the Systema Naturae and he eventually applied his system of classification to all of zoology, where it appears here for the first time. Peter & Margarethe Braune bookplates. Stafleu-Cowan 4794.
