Descrizione

Nürnberg, Raspe, 1805. Small folio (28.2 x 22.0 cm). Volume II(VIII-XV). Eight hand-coloured engraved plates. = A very rare work by Johann Wilhelm Karl Adolph Freiherr von Hüpsch (ca. 1730-1805). As far as we know these plates were ever published. This is only the second part. Another part (once) available is the first, with plates I-VII). According to the publisher, Raspe, the plates of the second part had been in his possession for more than 20 years. He states that there should be an accompanying manuscript in the estate of Von Hüpsch, but this was never found. These plates contains the first illustration of Ordovician receptaculitid algae or sponges - this has been debated ever since. Other illustrations include Mesozoic cephalopods, gastropods, bivalves, sea-urchins, sponges, etc. Light bump to lower right margin. A very good set. Not in any major reference work.
