"The King of The Vultures" is a notable illustration from "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," a comprehensive work by Oliver Goldsmith, first published in 1774. The illustration, created by Jacques de Seve, a prominent French illustrator known for his detailed and accurate depictions of animals, was included in the 1816 London edition of Goldsmith's work. "History of the Earth and Animated Nature" aimed to provide a wide audience with an accessible and engaging overview of the natural world, spanning various topics from geology and geography to the behavior and characteristics of animals.

In "The King of The Vultures," de Seve captures the majesty and imposing presence of the vulture, a bird often associated with death but also revered in some cultures for its symbolic significance. The illustration is characterized by its attention to detail, from the texture of the feathers to the piercing gaze of the bird, reflecting de Seve's skill in rendering the natural world. This image, along with others in the collection, contributed to the 19th-century readers' understanding and appreciation of wildlife, offering insights into species that were, at the time, exotic and largely unknown to the European audience.

The inclusion of "The King of The Vultures" in the 1816 edition of Goldsmith's work underscores the ongoing interest in natural history in the early 19th century and the role of illustrations in educating the public about the diversity of life on Earth. Through works like "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," Goldsmith and de Seve played a significant part in the dissemination of scientific knowledge and the promotion of curiosity about the natural world among the general populace.
