Zebra), each rendered with anatomical accuracy and subtle colouration.

William Mackenzie, a 19th-century British publisher based in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, was known for producing grand illustrated volumes. His natural history works were particularly admired for their visual appeal and educational value. The engravings in this set reflect the meticulous style typical of the era and were likely prepared by skilled anonymous illustrators under Mackenzie’s direction.
