FIRST EDITION. 16 volumes bound in 8. 8vo. (23.5 x 14 cm). Contemporary full calf richly gilt, sides ruled with wide gilt foliate borders, spines with raised bands and richly gilt in compartments, gilt inner dentelles, marbled endpapers and edges. 576 fine hand-coloured engraved plates by and after Donovan. Some light shelfwear to bindings, contents clean and crisp save for the odd occasional spot and one example of a brown splash in Vol. 16 affecting pp. 33-37, generally an excellent set in particularly handsome bindings. Fine, complete set of first issues of Edward Donovan's comprehensive guide to the complex and diverse world of insect life in Britain. This handsome work was originally intended to be published in ten volumes in 1801. However, with Donavan's acquisition of additional specimens and two complete cabinets of insects, the decision was taken to continue the series and a further 6 volumes were published from 1806 onwards. Organised into sections that cover various habitats and environments found around the British Isles, each description is accompanied by a highly detailed engraving, that provides visual illumination of the species' physical characteristics, behaviour and ecological role. Donovan's comprehensive work not only reflects the growing interest in the natural world from the general public, it equally reflects the emergence of the field of entomology as a distinct scientific discipline.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Discover the work of artist-naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian in this beautifully illustrated volume, its sixty full-plate colour engravings tracing the life cycle of butterflies and moths of South America. Originally published in 1705, Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium records Merian's research expedition to Suriname in 1699. Her groundbreaking work documenting the transformation of insects yielded a wealth of scientific discoveries, captured vividly in richly detailed illustrations - results as beautiful as they are exact. Each plate is composed like a still life yet observed at specimen level: caterpillar, chrysalis, and emerged adult, arranged together with the very plant they feed on.Over an expedition of almost two years, the German naturalist observed many native insects first hand and meticulously recorded her findings in the field, in a way that had not been done before. At a time when few women engaged in scientific study, her work challenged prevailing ideas about spontaneous generation and helped lay the foundations of modern entomology. Today, she is celebrated as one of the earliest women in entomology, pioneering in her discoveries and in her style of natural history illustration.This edition reproduces Merian's plates in their original colour and detail, accompanied by written extracts from the original volume. It celebrates the enduring legacy of her work as an artist-naturalist and honours her as a key figure in the history of women in science.Book Features:- Sixty full-plate facsimile prints from Maria Sibylla Merian's 1705 Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium.- Each illustration displaying South American butterflies, moths, and their host plants.- Merian was one of the first naturalists to study insect life cycles in the field, on a self-funded expedition to Suriname.- A landmark of natural history illustration, and one of the first books to show insects with the plants they lived on.- A unique gift and coffee table book for artists, naturalists, and lovers of botanical art. …
