Created in the last half of the 18th c. The Histoire Naturelle de Buffon, is an encyclopedia of natural history, geology and anthropology in one publication. The Zebra, inspired by this tome, reflects the black and white thinking of the current political climate and the strips of US map interlocked with religious text that create the background. Handwritten, The 19th Amendment and The Gettysburg Address, continue the idea of stripes and space.
