Description:
[Amsterdam, the artist], 1809-1811. Oblong folio (17.1 x 25.6 cm) [17.7 x 26.0 cm]. Mounted. Printed surface ca. 11.5 x 17.0 cm. 19th-century quarter morocco over pebbled boards. Spine with gilt floral ornaments. Marbled endpapers. Edges speckled red. A fine, complete suite of cattle etchings on light-greyish wove paper, mounted on larger, white sheets, by the Dutch (Amsterdam) artist and engraver Anthony Oberman (1781-1845). Each illustration is signed, numbered and monthly dated by the artist, inside the frame. Placed in numerical and chronological order, dates range from July 1809 to January 1811. Work of Oberman is present in the Rijksmuseum and other art institutes in the Netherlands. Reproductions of his work are popular, but original printings are rare. It is very rare to see this suite complete. Provenance: the armorial bookplate of Dupont de St. Ouën, designed and/or engraved by D. de Patoul, mounted on the front pastedown. Boards with some shelfwear. Slight, marginal spotting, otherwise…

Description:
Rennes, Oberthür et fils, 1876. 4to (27.9 x 18.8 cm). 74 pp.; four nice hand-coloured engraved plates. Slightly later half cloth over marbled boards. Dark green morocco strip with gilt title mounted on spine. Original printed wrappers preserved. Rare first volume of the Études, of which 21 volumes were published. This, however, is the only part in this series, specifically dealing with the butterflies of Algeria. More than a quarter century later, from 1904 onwards, additional studies on North-African Lepidoptera were written and published by Oberthur in his Études de lépidopterologie comparée. This early work contains descriptions and very fine illustrations of new and little known species. A nice, clean copy. Horn-Schenkling II(3), p. 202; Nissen ZBI, 2997.

Description:
Rennes, F. C. Oberthür, 1904. 8vo (24.4 x 15.8 cm). 77 pp.; plates I-V; all finely hand-coloured, one heightened with silver, one in double suite; an extra, handwritten plate explanation to plates I-IV bound in the rear. Later blind half cloth over marbled boards. A unique association copy of the first volume of this major lepidopterological work, containing fine, hand-coloured plates and systematic revisions and descriptions of a great number of butterflies from various temperate and tropical regions. This copy with a signed, handwritten dedication by Charles Oberthür to "Monsieur le Docteur Christ"; in the same hand, a clarification of plates I-IV, differing from the printed version in its details of the localities. The recipient was, in all probability, the Swiss medical doctor and botanist Konrad Hermann Heinrich Christ (1833-1933), who published on Lepidoptera between 1873 and 1897. The five chromolithographed plates, of which several were touched up by hand, are by A.…

The first letter typed, with hand-written signature and additional handwriting; the second entirely handwritten, signed and dated.

Description:
Essen, G. Bädeker, 1825. Two volumes in one. 8vo (19.8 x 12.0 cm). 782 pp.; one folding lithographed plate with several geological profiles. Contemporary half cloth over marbled boards. Paper label with the title in an old hand on the spine. Original endpapers. One of the first geological descriptions of this southern part of Germany (and adjacent countries), viz. the Taunus, Schwarzwald, Vosges, as well as the Swiss Jura and the Schwäbische Alb. Especially interesting because of the description of the petrographic formation of these mountains. Karl [Carl] August Ludwig Freiherr von Oeynhausen (1795-1865), the main author, was a wealthy German geologist and patron, who popularised the salt bath of the famous spa now named Bad Oeynhausen. In the introduction on page v the authors state "Mit dem vorliegende Werke in Verbindung steht eine geognostische Charte in 2 Blättern", which is nearly always lacking as it was published by another publishing house in Berlin.
