Philibert Charles Berjeau (c. 1846 – 1912) was a natural history illustrator and lithographer, active in London in the late Victorian era. His subjects varied widely, including mammals, reptiles and especially birds, as well as fossils. ==Life and work== He was born in France about 1846 to Jean Philibert Berjeau and his wife Marceline. Philibert Charles was the eldest son; he had a sister Marguerite and a brother Maurice. The family moved to London and was living in St Pancras by 1871, when he was 25. His father was an author and engraver; in 1862 he published ''Le Bibliophile Illustré'', claiming "Texte et Gravures par J. Ph. Berjeau". His book on horses, published in London in 1864, has the list of plates in both English and French.〔Berjeau, 1864. pp. 5–8〕 He followed in his father's footsteps with skill in engraving. He started to publish his own engravings at an early age (about 17) with a book of drawings of dogs (1863),〔Berjeau, Ph. C. ''The Varieties of Dogs, as They Are Found in Old Sculptures, Pictures, Engravings, and Books'', Dulau, 1863.〕 soon followed by another on horses (1864).〔Berjeau, Ph. C. ''The Horses of Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Renaissance'', Dulau, 1864.〕 In 1866 he collaborated with his father on ''Beggars, Rogues, and Vagabonds'': he made the drawings and his father engraved them.〔Berjeau, Ph. C. and Berjeau, J. Ph. ''Beggars, Rogues, and Vagabonds'', 1866.〕 He made illustrations for the British Museum of Natural History, and for the journal of the Geological Society of London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uni-stuttgart.de/hi/gnt/dsi2/index.php?table_name=dsi&function=details&where_field=id&where_value=5317 )〕 He made a sketch of the Sumatran rhinoceros which gave birth in Charles William Rice's stables on Commercial Road in December 1872. He worked as an illustrator for Robert Falcon Scott's S.S. ''Discovery'' expedition of 1901-1904, and the National Arctic Expedition of 1907-1912.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philibert Charles Berjeau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
