Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 16 x 26 cm, 163 Seiten mit zahlreichen Farbabbildungen - Reichhaltiger Farbbildband über das Gesamtwerk des bedeutendsten Schweizer Naturillustrators des 19. Jahrhunderts. Vorgestellt werden unter anderem die wiederentdeckten Original-Aquarelle zur Sammlung von Schweizer Pflanzen (1824-1843). Wer sich in Labrams Blätter vertieft, wird ertaunt feststellen, daß es unter den mehr als Tausend Pflanzen, die er gemalt hat, keine einzige hässliche gibt. Selbst dem kommunsten 'Unkraut' widmet er ein Maß an Aufmerksamkeit und Einfühlungsgabe, daß aus der unscheinbaren Gewöhnlichkeit plötzlich eine Gestalt von eigenem Charme hervortritt: etwas Verspieltes, Zartes, Lebendiges und Schönes.

Besonders die Pflanzenbilder geben mit unubertrefflicher Sicherheit den Habitus und die charakteristischen Einzelheiten der Originale wieder und sind in ihrer Art Meisterwerke." [Translated as: "Labram's works are extraordinarily faithful, also technically successful and even artistically not unrefined 'portraits after nature'. The plant pictures in particular reproduce the habitus and characteristic details of the originals with unsurpassable certainty and are masterpieces in their own right. "] â" Brun, Schweiz, Kunstlerlexikon, Bd. 2, S. 212. / Jonas David Labram (born Labran) was a Swiss botanical illustrator and naturalist. He also made entomological illustrations. He discovered several new plants in the Basel region that were included in Carl Friedrich Hagenbach's (1771â"1849) flora of the region. The Labran family were known for their involvement in the cloth industry in Neuchatel.

Very good set. Text Latin and German. One of the rarest works on Coleoptera. Originally intended to be published in two volumes, each consisting of 10 Hefte (fascicules) (each with 8 plates and 8 leaves of descriptive text), however the final part of the second volume was never published. Of the 19 published Hefte, we offer here 16 (1-14, 17, 18), with 128 (of 152) mostly hand-coloured plates. Co-authored by two Swiss naturalists, Jonas David Labram (1785-1852), a botanical and entomological artist, and Ludwig Imhoff (1801-1868) a physician and zoologist. It is very unusual to find this work in its original state, with original parts in their printed wrappers. The 'Heft' numbers are hand written on each of the printed wrappers, which are dated, 1838 (Heft 1-5), 1840 (Heft 6-12), 1845 (Heft 13-14, 17, 18). Bousquet gives dates of publication: Hefte 1-2 (1838), 3-4 (1839), 5-7 (1840), 8-9 (1841), 10 (1842), 11 (1843), 12-13 (1845), 14 (1847), 15 (1848), 16-17 (1849), 18 (1850), 19 (1851).
