A propos de cet article

Taschen 2005 Bound, hardcover with dustjacket and orig. slipcase, 543pp., 26x39cm., richly illustr. in col., in very good condition (slipcase with light traces of use). Large and heavy volume.

Seba's scenic illustrations, often mixing plants and animals in a single plate, were unusual even for the time. Many of the stranger and more peculiar creatures from Seba's collection, some of which are now extinct, were as curious to those in Seba's day as they are to us now. This reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction offers background information about the fascinating tradition of the cabinet of curiosities to which Seba's curiosities belonged. …
