Description

Rennes, Oberthür et fils, 1876. 4to (27.9 x 18.8 cm). 74 pp.; four nice hand-coloured engraved plates. Slightly later half cloth over marbled boards. Dark green morocco strip with gilt title mounted on spine. Original printed wrappers preserved. = Rare first volume of the Études, of which 21 volumes were published. This, however, is the only part in this series, specifically dealing with the butterflies of Algeria. More than a quarter century later, from 1904 onwards, additional studies on North-African Lepidoptera were written and published by Oberthur in his Études de lépidopterologie comparée. This early work contains descriptions and very fine illustrations of new and little known species. A nice, clean copy. Horn-Schenkling II(3), p. 202; Nissen ZBI, 2997.
