He contributed to the Transformist theory of nature that species slowly changed over time, loosely based on Darwinian theory of the era. His early career was spent working with Buffon and contributing to Buffon's Histoire naturelle, as well as completing and publishing Buffon's final volume after his mentor's death. Toward's the end of his life he had compiled his final Oeuvres de Comte de Lacepede, which were gradually published posthumously from 1825-36 as supplements to Buffon's Histoire naturelle. Lacepede and Buffon work were very popular and published in many different editions and variations. This print is from an 1845 edition, see the pic of the title page for more info.
