In 1849, Boutell published an absolutely enormous tome filled with engravings of English brasses, depicting kings, archbishops, bishops, knights, nobles, and other prominent figures from 14th and 15th-century England.

Description:
1785 Buffon Natural History SCIENCE Color Illustrated Evolution Microbiology 5v

"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'"
― Ernst Mayer

The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, "Histoire Naturelle," was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, he focused on the individual orders of living things. The DSB mentions that
"Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science."
This beautiful five-volume German example features 17 impressive hand-colored engravings depicting the development of humankind and the human form!

It was Lowther who first provided many now-familiar details of Superman's birth and early life.

1887 FOLIO Rime of Ancient Mariner Coleridge Gustave Dore & Paton Illustrated

Known as one of the English Lake Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the most notable 19th-century English romance poets. Coleridge's longest poem was 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'.

It describes the sea voyages of a sailor who experienced dangers, adventures, and even supernatural encounters!

This huge 1887 edition is notable for including the illustrations of Gustave Dore and Joseph Noel Paton. In addition to the highly desirable art, this edition features commentary and critical notes by Alfred Trumble.
