About this Item
Description:
This rare, originally hand-colored shell engraving is from Louis-Charles Kiener's "Species gĂ nĂ ral et iconographie des coquilles vivantes, comprenant la collection du MusĂ um d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris, la collection Lamarck, celle du Prince MassĂ na et les dĂ couvertes rĂ centes des Voyageurs". This first edition volume was published in Paris between 1834 and 1880 by Rousseau, Bailliere, s.d. --- This was at the time that lithography was becoming the popular mode of publication, but Kiener chose to use stipple engraving with original hand-coloring for each plate in the work. It was an expansive work on conchology that classified the shells according to the systems of Cuvier and Lamarck. --- Kiener used the famous Delessert collection and the Natural History Museum of Paris to illustrate his work. Together these collections were the most varied fund of conchological material available. "He soon put it to good use; and in 1834 he published the first part of his SpĂ cies. This exquisitely illustrated iconography, started before the Sowerbys and Reeve began to issue theirs, appeared at intervals up to 1879, when eleven volumes had been completed. All devoted to the illustration of marine gastopods with the exception of the tenth volume, which includes a monograph on the bivalve genus Thracia. The eleventh volume is the work of Paul Fischer. All the illustrations are by celebrated French engravers and artists of the day." (Dance. Hist. of Shell Collecting p. 137) --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor marks or imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 6" by 9 1/4".
