Descripción

A SPECTACULAR LARGE-PAPER COPY OF THE PLATE VOLUME DEVOTED TO MAMMALS (from the Dictionnaire des sciences naturelles), PRINTED LARGE QUARTO ON EXTREMELY FINE WOVE PAPER, WITH ALL THE PLATES (100, by various engravers after Jean-Gabriel PrÍtre) IN TWO STATES, BOTH UNCOLORED AND BEAUTIFULLY COLORED BY HAND. 13 pp. and 200 plates (100 colored + 100 uncolored). The coloring in this copy is vastly superior to that found in the regular octavo issue. Large 4to (30.4 x 23 cm). Beautifully bound in contemporary quarter calf and decorated boards. Little traces of wear to extremities of binding. Plates FINE AND BRIGHT, WITH THE COLORS VERY FRESH, and a little faint spotting caused by impurities in the paper. EXTREMELY RARE in this state: Brunet (II, 696) mentions that large-paper copies exist, and acknowledges that a few copies have the plates both colored and uncolored. SPECTACULAR AND IMPORTANT.
