About the author

René Martin (1846–1925) was a French naturalist and entomologist. Catalog records from the Biodiversity Heritage Library identify him as the author of Atlas de poche des mammifères de France, de la Suisse romane et de la Belgique, published in Paris in 1910.

That book suggests the kind of writer he was: careful, observational, and interested in making natural history accessible through compact reference works. While detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, his surviving publications point to a strong place in the tradition of popular scientific writing in early 20th-century France.

No verified portrait image was available from the pages I checked, so a profile image could not be confirmed.
