Original Colour Vintage Print from Lorenz Okenfuss' 'Oken's Naturgeschichte' (Allgemeine Naturgeschichte für alle Stände), with illustrations by Johann Susemihl (1767-1847), and published in Stuttgart by Hoffman between 1839 and 1841. Lorenz Oken (1 August 1779 - 11 August 1851) was a German naturalist, botanist, biologist, and ornithologist. Oken was born Lorenz Okenfuss (German: Okenfuß) in Bohlsbach (now part of Offenburg), Ortenau, Baden, and studied natural history and medicine at the universities of Freiburg and Würzburg. He went on to the University of Göttingen, where he became a Privatdozent (unsalaried lecturer), and shortened his name to Oken. As Lorenz Oken, he published a small work entitled Grundriss der Naturphilosophie, der Theorie der Sinne, mit der darauf gegründeten Classification der Thiere (1802). This was the first of a series of works which established him as a leader of the movement of "Naturphilosophie" in Germany.
