A propos de cet article

[4], 100, 24 col + 24 plain plates. . HB. 4to, cont. half calf, raised bands to spine, gt tooling to compartments, marbled boards and endpapers; joints starting to crack, but still firm, wear to corners, edges and spine; boards rubbed and scuffed. Occasional foxing, a few stains. 'with Plain and Coloured Drawings, from Original Paintings, by Morland, Vernet, Howett, Le Cave, &c.' Includes 24 lithographed plates, each in two states (hand-coloured and uncoloured, 48 in total). The subjects of this volume include wild and domestic animals, birds, fish and insects.
