Magnificent and luxurious shell book with 12 enormous plates showing about 205 finely engraved and beautifully and subtly hand-coloured images of 145 shells of snails, mussels and other shellfish (gastropods and bivalves) painted and engraved by Franz Michael Regenfuss from originals in a large number of royal, private and publi…c collections. Regenfuss's wife Margaretha Helena Ludwig executed most of the colouring, with some figures by Gabriel Müller and Johan Maurits Leyh. It too is executed beautifully and accurately. The book is especially rich in Asian shells ("most" according to Van Benthem Jutting) but also includes West Indian, South African and European examples. They are nearly all marine species, but there is at least one land snail. Van Benthem Jutting notes that the book "appears but very seldom in booksellers' catalogues".The entire book is the brain-child of the painter, engraver and print seller Franz Michael Regenfuss (1713-1780) in Nürnberg. He began planning what was to become the present book in 1745. Count Adam Gottlob von Moltke, a shell collector and amateur at the Danish court, brought him in 1754 to Copenhagen, where King Frederik V appointed him engraver to the king (though he continued to work in Nürnberg). The frontispiece and the two vignettes are printed in red, showing that this copy was intended for presentation (the ordinary copies have these engravings in blue). King Frederik V of Denmark had these presentation copies bound with his arms on the boards and spine around the time of publication. Although intended for presentation by King Frederik V ca. 1758, the present copy appears to have remained with the royal family for fifty years until Frederik VI, who bore the same arms, presented it to the Empress Joséphine. The back of each title-page bears the "Huzard de l'Institut" stamp of the Paris book collector, professor of veterinary medicine and member of the Institut de France, Jean-Baptiste Huzard (1755-1838), who tells its earlier history in a note tipped onto an end leaf.In fine condition, with only occasional very slight browning (for example, in the margins of a few plates), and occasional minor offsetting of the text.The chemicals used to mottle most fields on the calf binding have damaged the surface in those areas, affecting much of the tooling, and the boards also show a scuff mark and a few minor scrapes and scratches, the turn-ins slightly browned the edges of the paste-downs and the ribbon marker shows a few bleached spots.l W.S.S. van Benthem Jutting, "On the conchological work of F.M. Regenfuss", in: Zoologische mededelingen XXXIX (1964), pp. 168-179; Cat. des livres, . de . J.-B. Huzard, part 1 (1842), p. 12 (this copy); Cat. Linnean Soc. (1925), p. 461 (Linnaeus's copy); Dance, History of shell collecting (1986), pp. 38-39, 247; Nissen, ZBI 3338. Contemporary armorial presentation binding in gold-tooled mottled calf, on 9 supports, each board in a panel design with the crowned, supported and mantled coat of arms of King Frederik V, with the order of the elephant, in the centre in a triple frame, the inner frame (with corners chamfered with concaved arcs) made from a wide decorative roll, the middle frame with a different large ornament inside each corner in a quarter circle and a fifth ornament outside each corner, with the inner and outer fields mottled but the middle field plain, the spine with two morocco labels, one red with the title in the 2nd and one olive with the volume number I in the 3rd of 10 compartments (volume II was planned but never produced), each of the others with the simpler Danish arms (3 lions) in the centre, still crowned, supported and with the order of the elephant, surrounded by decorations, gold-tooled raised bands and board edges, woodblock-printed decorated endpapers (vines with flowers and leaves) hand-coloured in red, blue, yellow and green (the yellow sometimes over the green to make a new shade), headbands in pink and white, pink ribbon marker.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Quarto (10 1/16" x 7 3/4", 255mm x 197mm): Vol. I: [Full collation available upon request]. 102 leaves, pp. [4] (title, blank, 2pp. preface) 1 2-4 (introduction to Linnaean taxonomy) 5 6-24, 25 6-52, 31-5 6-56 [16] (15pp. binomial index, postface), 41-5 36-55 [1] (blank). With 93 hand-colored eng…raved plates, of which 3 are half-titles. Vol. II: [Full collation available upon request]. 96 leaves, pp. 1-5 6-54 [14] (14pp. index), 21-5 26-48, 31-5 36-76. With 103 hand-colored engraved plates, of which 3 are half-titles. With 196 hand-colored engraved plates in toto. Bound in contemporary diced Russian calf with a gilt roll border. On the spine, 5 raised bands. "COQUILLAGES / DE / KNORR" gilt to the second panel, number gilt to third. With marbled endpapers and a green silk ribbon marker. All edges of the text-block gilt. Boards scratched and worn at the fore-corners. Sporadic pale foxing, but overall a clean example. Faint graphite scrawl to the top edge of plate XVIII. Ink stain from opposite plate to vol. II 3A4, light ink transfers from plates with black backgrounds (part VI, plates XXXI-XL). Bookplate of Annie Geraldine Tennant to the front pastedown of volume I. Bookseller's ticket of "Holland Bros. Booksellers Birmingham" to the rear pastedown of volume II. The greatest eighteenth-century work of conchology, Knorr's Delices (a German edition, Vergnügen der Augen und des Gemüths, began publication in 1757) gathers the specimens of the Wunderkammern (similar to cabinets of curiosities) of Nuremberg, Amsterdam, and beyond. The descriptions -- there was a contemporaneous Latin edition, and a later Dutch edition -- are unusually descriptive and readable, and not, as so often, truncated and terse. Still, nothing lacks in precision; vol. VI includes a concordance to Rumpf, who came to supplant Linnæus as the authority on mollusks. Knorr was introduced to natural history engraving when, while still an apprentice, he worked on the plates for Johann Scheuchzer's popular Physica sacra. In the 1750s, Knorr began issuing his own sumptuous folios. Knorr died in 1761, and so the introduction to each part but the first is signed by his heirs. Perhaps this is the reason that the title-page is sometimes found bearing the year 1760 and sometimes 1764; his death may well have delayed publication of the first volume. The present copy bears the 1760 date, but a small disc of paper has been pasted over the 0, altering it to a 4 (see our 3 volume set bearing the same affliction). Annie Geraldine Tennant (neé Redmayne, 1863-1956) married into the aristocratic Tennant family (her father-in-law being 1st Baronet, Sir Charles Clow Tennant of the Glen) in 1886. She lived out her days in a seaside town on the south shore of Scotland's Firth of Forth, which one can imagine stoked a fancy for conchology. The present example was lot 27 in Sotheby's 22 November 2022 sale of John Golden's library. An executive of a family-owned packaging and printing company, John Golden began collecting through a fascination with the superlative papers and printing techniques of earlier centuries. Initially seeking inspiration for his work at Stephen Gould Corporation, an international leader in innovative and custom packaging and branding, Golden soon developed an appreciation for the primary publications of the age of enlightenment. Over the course of nearly four decades Golden meticulously collected a superb library, compact and cohesive, representing the very apex of printing and illustration in the golden age of scientific discovery. Golden likely acquired this volume in the Sotheby's sale of the collector Michael J. Kuse's botanical library, 20 June 2003. Nissen ZBI 2228. Cataloged by G.R. Murdock and J.L. Rosenberg.

A brilliantly bright suite of plates.The greatest eighteenth-century work of conchology, Knorr's Delices (a German edition, Vergnügen der Augen und des Gemüths, began publication in 1757) gathers together the specimens of the Wunderkammern of Nuremberg, Amsterdam and beyond. The descriptions - there was a contemporaneous Latin edition, and a later Dutch edition - are unusually descriptive and readable, and not, as so often, truncated and terse. Still, nothing lacks in precision; vol. VI includes a concordance to Rumpf, who came to supplant Linnæus as the authority on mollusks.

Perhaps this is the reason that the title-page is sometimes found bearing the year 1760 and sometimes 1764; his death may well have delayed publication of the first volume. The present copy bears the 1760 date (as observation of the reverse of the title-page of vol. I easily shows), but a small disc of paper has been pasted over the 0, altering it to a 4. The glory of this copy is the unusual vibrancy of its plates' coloring. The colorist has has gone to the very extremes of her palette, supplying the warmest orange-reds and the subtlest variations of blue. This is particularly important as the effect of the final ten plates of vol. VI depend so wholly on the precision of the colorist: they depict brilliant white shells against a deep matte black background, which has been carefully made to surround even the fine asterisks denoting the volume number beside the plate number. In addition to the coloration itself is the deployment of metallic hues in the titles as well as on certain plates, and a more widespread use of gum arabic both to emphasize the surface texture as well as the depth of color in some places. A true triumph of the colorist's art. Zissen ZBI, 2235.
