Framed Print of 1558 Gessner Sea Serpent & ship full page 1558 Gessner Sea Serpent & ship full page
1558 Conrad Gessner Volume 4, Sea Serpents from his Historia Animalium'. Later hand colouring. Italic marginalia by contemporary scholar. Gessners accounts included creatures which exist, and creatures which we now know do not. There were small sea snakes in the tropics, and there seemed every chance that such leviathan Sea Serpents as he illustrated also roamed the deep. They hardly seemed stranger than the great whales. Gessners accounts were based on first hand reports as well as the authority of earlier authors such as Aristotle and Pliny.
