Very good copy of the Shells volume from Cuvier's huge Dictionary of Natural Sciences

Complete with all 114 hand-coloured stipple engraved plates of cephalopods and molluscs, including octopus, squid, shellfish, mussels, cones, cowries, volutes, sea snails, ammonites, nautilus, etc.

All the illustrations by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre, under the direction of Pierre Jean François Turpin, and engraved by Louis Massard, Madame Rebel, Guyard, Bourey, Giraud, Coutant, etc.

Conchyliogie et Malacologie: Title page, 36pp (table of plates, index), 4 engraved plates and 114 handcoloured engraved plates of marine creatures

Part of Cuvier's massive Dictionary of Natural Sciences that was published in 60 text volumes and 13 plate volumes from 1816 to 1830.

Jean-Gabriel Prêtre (1768-1849) was a Swiss-French natural history painter who illustrated a large number of books for Cuvier, Louis Pierre Vieillot, René Primevère Lesson, Comte de Lacépède, Richard Achille, and many other French zoologists.

Pierre Jean François Turpin (1775-1840) was a French botanist and illustrator. He is considered one of the greatest floral and botanical illustrators during the Napoleonic Era and after.

Half brown leather, spine with raised bands and gilt title, leather dry and rubbed, marbled boards and endpapers, book block solid. Stipple engraved plates mostly clean apart from slight spotting to edges, most under tissue guards, but hand-colour vivid and bright.

Very good copy of this increasingly rare series by two giants of natural history illustration.

Description:
This book is bound with leather covers and a cloth spine. There is a label on the front cover which is not readable. New endsheets have been added at some point in the book's long history, but the original endsheets and covers are present. There is a former owner's inscription on the original front endsheet. Pages are intact and the binding is tight. The book contains black & white drawings of muscles, bones, and bandages. There is an index for medicines and an extensive table of contents of body parts, diseases, syndromes, and treatments. Printed in the year 1846, the book itself is, in essence, a time capsule that portrays how medicine was practiced aboard an early nineteenth century sailing ship. This will make a wonderful addition to the library of the collector of medical memorabilia.

Description:
Paris, 1868. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good. First Editions, 7 volumes published between 1868 and 1873. A complete set of what must have been one of the most impressive bibliographical publications of 19th Century France - indeed Europe. Copiously illustrated with facsimiles and colour reproductions, (many of which are fold-out and impressively large) of remarkable manuscripts and bindings throughout history. In contemporary 1/4 calf with raised bands and blue labels at one stage this set must have been particularly eye-catching but sadly time has taken its toll somewhat. In various states of condition ranging from Good/VG to Fair only. Most with substantial off-setting in places, many tissue-guards missing from the plates. Some occasional spotting and damp-staining to odd volumes but not terribly so. The bindings are overall in Fair condition with several split (and one entirely loose) backstrips and corners. This has been a working set and as well as bearing the bookplate of their original owner at… Read More
