Georges-Louis Leclerc, Count of Buffon, (1707-1788) directed the Royal Botanical Garden for nearly fifty years, from 1739 until his death: his Natural History, in 36 illustrated volumes, was a success from the moment it was published.
The animal representations contained in the book served as a source of inspiration for fine arts, fashion, decoration, educational works and children's books.
This is evidenced by the Le Buffon lotto game: an illustrated lotto game, decorated with all species published in Paris by Appert fils et Vavasseur around 1840. The 96 animal figures on the 24 cards that make it up were created by Nicolas Fleuri Jannin.
These magnets are inspired by the illustrations appearing in the lotto game, a copy of which is kept at the National Museum of Natural History, in the collections of the Libraries and Documentation Department.
