Couverture souple. Etat : Très bon. Poids: 320gr. Couverture un peu usée. Inscription au stylo en première page. C'est par ses travaux sur les insectes que le zoologiste, miniaturise et graveur allemand August Johann Rosel von Rosenhof (1705-1759) acquit sa célébrité. L'ouvrage qu'il intitula lnsecten-Belustigung (Divertissement entomologique) décrit en détail la vie er le développement des insectes de son pays, ainsi que de divers crustacés d'eau douce. Ses gravures enluminés sont encore considérées de nos jours comme des chefs-d'oeuvre tant sur le plan artistique que sur celui de la recherche et de la description biologiques : la précision de l'observation et la netteté de la réalisation se conjuguent pour donner à ces images autant d'intérêt que de charme esthétique. Les illustrations rassemblées dans le présent recueil ont été sélectionnées parmi les quatre volumes que comprend l'oeuvre de Rösel. L'édition complète consiste en un peu moins de 300 planches pleine page en couleur (format original : 18 X 21 ,5 cm), dont certaines se divisent en plusieurs sections; les I76 planches qui ont été retenues pour la présente édition ont été choisies pour leur importance et leur beauté.

August Johann Rösel von Rosenhof (1705-1759) was a successful German miniature painter, naturalist and entomologist. This is regarded as "one of the most beautiful German works on insects of the period" (Landewehr). This Dutch edition is a translation of Der Monatlich Herausgegebenen Insecten Belustigung, and is considered preferable to the German edition due to its larger size, thicker paper, and superior colouring. Nissen and others date it to 1764-1768. According to Landewehr, since the priviledge leaf in Vol. 1 is dated 27 June 1765 and the portrait is dated 1782, this work is dated [1765-1782]. When Rösel died in 1759, his daughter Katherina Barbara Rösel von Rosenhof and her husband Christian Friedrich Carl Kleemann (1735-1789) continued his work. It was translated into Dutch by Adam Abrahamzoon Moerbeek. Landewehr, Dutch Books with Colored Plates 161; Nissen ZBI 3467.
