Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729–1799) was an Italian Catholic priest, biologist, and physiologist who made important contributions to the experimental study of bodily functions and animal reproduction. His research on the physiology of digestion, particularly in birds, was a significant advancement in the understanding of biological processes. An illustration depicting Spallanzani's investigation into avian digestion is featured in "La vie et les moeurs des animaux" (The Life and Customs of Animals), a work by the French writer Louis Figuier (1819–1894). Published in Paris in 1868, the book aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of animal life and behavior, and it included illustrations by various artists to complement the text.

The illustration by Claverie, whose full name and biographical details are not specified, captures a moment in Spallanzani's experimental research. Spallanzani's experiments often involved testing the digestive processes of animals by feeding them various substances and later examining the digestive tract. His meticulous approach and use of controlled experiments were ahead of his time and laid the groundwork for future studies in physiology and the scientific method.

The inclusion of Spallanzani's work in Figuier's "La vie et les moeurs des animaux" reflects the significance of his research in the broader context of 19th-century biology and natural history. The book by Figuier was popular in its day, serving to disseminate scientific knowledge to a lay audience and illustrating the interconnectedness of various branches of natural science. The illustration by Claverie is a visual representation of a historical moment in the advancement of scientific understanding of animal physiology.
