This article reports on the re-identification of two late-sixteenth-century albums in the University Library of Amsterdam, each containing large numbers of watercolour drawings of animals, pasted on to sheets of paper. Discussing the images, annotations, artists, watermarks, and bindings, as well as the relationships of the images with printed illustrations, the essay demonstrates that these albums were created by the Swiss physician Felix Platter (1536-1614) and that they contain, in addition to many animal drawings collected by Platter, several hundred more that belonged to the Swiss humanist and naturalist Conrad Gessner (1516-65). It emerges that the drawings are, in fact, the long-lost models ( Vorlagen ) for illustrations in his famous  Historiae Animalium . Twenty-four folios are reproduced in an  Supplementary Data .
