Descrizione

Paris, A. Belin, 1818-1842. Large folio (approximately 53 x 35 cm). Four plates. Not bound, as issued. = A magnificent publication with fine large plates of mammals from all over the world. The authors, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1772-1844) and Fréderic Cuvier (1769-1832) were the leading authorities in Mammalogy in the first half of the 19th century, and the "Histoire naturelle des mammifères" is widely regarded as their magnum opus. From this work, these are the otter, Javanese mongoose, Nepalese goat, and the Upper Egyptian goat. All as issued, without stamps, annotations or other markings. All plates uncut, untrimmed, resulting in very big margins. Due to these large margins some edges a bit frayed or with minor tears. The "Bouc de la haute Egypte" spotted in the margins; all other plates either with minimal spotting or clean. In all a set in a very good condition. Brunet II, p. 1,536; Nissen ZBI, 1525; Wood, p. 354.
