Taschen 40 Ed: Seba Cabinet Of Natural Curiosities

Product description

The cabinet of natural curiosities is one of the greatest natural history achievements of the 18th century and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time. Although scientists of his era often collected natural specimens for research purposes, the amsterdam-based pharmacist albertus seba (1665-1736) was unrivaled in his passion. His amazing collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting, seba commissioned careful and often picturesque illustrations of every specimen.

With these meticulous drawings, he arranged for the publication of a four-volume catalog, covering the entire collection from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, birds, and butterflies, as well as now extinct creatures. Bu kopya, nadir, elle boyanmış bir orijinalden alınmıştır. The introduction provides background information about the fascinating tradition of natural collections to which seba's curiosities belonged.
