Plate s from History <strong>of</strong> the Freshwater Fish <strong>of</strong><br />
Central Europe by Louis Agassiz and Carl Vogt.<br />
Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz (1807 – 1873) was a<br />
Swiss paleontologist, glaciologist, geologist and the first<br />
person to scientifically propose that the earth had been<br />
subject to a past ice age. A dedicated scholar <strong>of</strong><br />
Ichthyology (the study <strong>of</strong> fish) the History <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Freshwater Fish <strong>of</strong> Central Europe was his second<br />
publication on the subject. Illustrated by his lifelong<br />
friend Joseph Dinkel, <strong>of</strong> which little is known other than<br />
his relation to Agassiz, this publication was begun in<br />
1839 and completed in 1842.<br />
In 1840 Agassiz published Etudes sur les glaciers<br />
("Study on Glaciers"), which put forward the theory <strong>of</strong> a<br />
past sequence <strong>of</strong> glacations develpoed alongside Jean de<br />
Charpentier and Karl Friedrich Schimper. The theory<br />
was met with much contemporary criticism, as most<br />
scientists <strong>of</strong> the day thought that the earth had been<br />
gradually cooling down since its birth as a molten<br />
globe, and wasn’t internationally accepted until the<br />
1870s.<br />
