Description

First edition of this highly important study of shipworms, of which several editions were published in various languages during the 18th century. Shipworms, mollusks scientifically known as teredines, were a major threat to mercantile societies like that of the Low Countries. Illustrated with 2 large folding plates by Wijdom, each in two states: hand-colored and uncolored (four plates in all). Many copies are lacking the colored plates. 4to. Contemporary vellum. Light soiling to binding but practically no wear. Internally bright and fine. An excellent copy of a rare book.
