Description
Woodcut of Auroch (Bos primigenius), from Gesner's 'Icones Animalium' 1560, reproduced from 1551. Published Christoph Froschover, Zurich. Gesner features both the European bison and auroch - but this hunting scene relates to the auroch (Urus) rather than the bison (though the animal he featured here differs from both his separate bison and auroch representations, and combines a little of both). The confusion may be due to the rarity of both animals in Europe - the Auroch less than a century from going extinct, primarily due to hunting. They are represented in European cave paintings, but were largely forgotten until the 19th century.
