About the book >.>.> This his book is intended as an essay on a neglected aspect of the exotic in European art. It is a study of a single animal the Indian one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) as it appeared to an educated European between 1515 and 1799. During this period -eight live Indian animals could be seen in Europe; some lived for only a few months one for as long as seventeen years. Although there is much here to inter- est the zoologist and even the taxidermist the emphasis is on the animal in the visual arts. Literary references have been kept to the minimum needed to throw light on the visual theme. (MP)
