Description:
Prestel, 2003. 176, col frontis, 20 col+b/w text illus, 196 col illus. . HB + Slipcase. Large 4to (345x250mm), orig. boards. A fine copy in d/w. and slipcase.. Edited with an introduction by Eckhard Hollmann. In 1718 Tsar Peter the Great travelled to the Netherlands in search of works of art to include in his collection for the first museum he was to found in St. Petersburg. Maria Sibylla Merian's (1647-1717) watercolours came to his attention and he was so impressed with their vivid beauty that he acquired without hesitation. These magnificent watercolours have been kept at the Academy of Science in St. Petersburg for centuries. This beautifully produced volume now makes these works available to a broader audience for the first time. It includes 196 colour plates, originally painted on parchment, depicting flowers and plants, caterpillars and butterflies, minerals and fossils, snails, reptiles and other creatures..

Description:
Munich: Prestel, 2003. First printing. Hardcover. Fine. Merian [1647 - 1717] was a German entomologist and scientific illustrator. 'She was one of the earliest European naturalists to document observations about insects directly.' (wikipedia dot com) Her lifelong study of insects and incorporation of the various stages of insect development into her illustrations established that insects had life cycles and dislodged the early idea that bugs were created from spontaneous generation. Folio, 176pp, 196 color plates, red cloth binding, cream title on spine, unclipped dust jacket, in red paper-covered slipcase with blind-stamped signature to one side.
