Item Description
A pair of engravings with hand colouring from Albertus Seba’s very rare publication (take a deep breath now) Locupletissimi Rerum Naturalium Thesauri Accurata Descriptio et Iconibus Artificiosissimis Expressio per Universam Physices Historiam.
Written in Latin the publication’s title roughly translates to: A Careful Description & Exceedingly Artistic Expression in Pictures of the Exceedingly Rich Treasury of Nature Throughout the Entire History of Natural Science.
These engravings are plate numbers 10 and 11 from Vol.1 of this publication and date from from 1734, they depict serpents and butterflies surrounding foliage and were coloured by hand.
Presented in substantial hand-crafted wooden frames with glass, these are very fine indeed and will be the pride of whichever space the adorn.
As some in the business might say, these are the real deal.
