Descrizione

Magdeburg, Creutz, 1901. 8vo (18.1 x 12.5 cm). Full-colour frontispiece (tissue-guarded); 94, [ii] pp.; 34 text engravings (several page-sized), and six unnumbered b/w plates. Original green buckram with gilt title on the spine and small herpetological vignette and gilt title on the front board. Printed endpapers. Marbled edges. = A very rare - currently not on the internet and no auction records - well-illustrated work by the German herpetologist Hans Geyer (1871-1958). "Für seine Verdienste auf dem Gebiet der Vivarienkunde erhielt er den Klingelhöffer-Preis" (DBE). Illustrations include mainly animals, and some terrarium plants, equipment, etc. Definitely much rarer than the author's Katechismus für Aquarienliebhaber. The endpapers contain information on similar works by the same publisher. Tissue guard spotted, otherwise in near mint condition. We have never seen a better copy, anywhere. DBE 3, p. 808. Neither in Adler nor in Nissen.
