About This Item

Paris, Garnier Frères, [no date, but 1854]. In two volumes. 4to (26.2 x 17.5 cm). 1,358 pp. [684; 674]; 30 [17; 13] finely hand-coloured steel-engravings. Contemporary uniform half morocco over marbled boards. Spines with five raised bands, gilt title. Marbled endpapers, speckled edges. = The works of Buffon, Cuvier, and De Lacépède went through many editions of varying quality. This edition is exceptional: it has excellent newly engraved and hand-coloured images, and is in this respect superior to 18th century editions. Published in four parts with 50 plates in total, these are the third and fourth (final) volumes, with thirty plates. Together they contain all the fish descriptions and illustrations. The 16 pp. introduction is not included because it was part of the second volume. A few light spots, otherwise a very good, clean set. This edition neither in Dean nor in Nissen.
