Did you see the pair of rhinoceros? We examined two early representations of this animal, based on Dürer's famous print:
- the illustration in a 1550 edition of Münster's Cosmographiae uniuersalis
- Gessner's Historiae Animalium (I, 1551) [@StAndrewsUniLib, Typ SwZ.B51FG]

👆This is the first design they produced, based on an image of the flower that I provided. #AH4236
We discussed period reactions to this type of representation e.g. John Parkinson's account of the passion flower in Paradisi in Sole. Paradisus Terrestris (1629)

Their second design 👇 is remarkable , for it resembles another famous early modern image linked to the question of religious symbolism in the Americas: the Cross of Limache, Chile, published in Alonso de Ovalle, Histórica relación del Reyno de Chile (1646). #AH4236
