Add to basketCondition: Fine. This artistically composed, scientific folio engraving is from Albertus Sebaâs "Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri accurata descriptio, et iconibus artificiosissimis expressio, per universam physices historiam". The work was published in Amsterdam between 1734 and 1765. Plates from volumes 1 & 2 were publi…shed by Janssonio-Waesbergios, & J. Wetstenium, & Gul. Smith; Volume 3 by Janssonio-Waesbergios; Volume 4 by H. C. Arkesteum and H. Merkum, Peter Schouten. --- Seba utilized leading scientists to aid in creating "Locupletissimiâ¦" including H. Boerhaave, P. van Musschenbroek, P. Massuet, H. D. Graubius, and P. Artedi. The work was considered the finest published Wunderkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities. --- Seba developed an interest in exotic species from his travels on the East and West Indies and purchases from world travelers. He exploited his relationship with the Dutch East India Company to advance his collection thus gathering specimens from Sri Lanka, Greenland, Indonesia, Brazil, and other far-flung places. Many of the plates from the work depicted specimens from Sebaâs own collection. The sensational engravings are both scientifically accurate and aesthetically appealing. --- Sebaâs âcabinet of curiositiesâ included beautiful and bizarre subjects and attracted many natural historians, including Carl Linnaeus. Sebaâs cabinet played an important part in the Linnaeus classification of the natural world. Maria Sybilla Merian also utilized his cabinet to complete her great work on Surinamese insects. Not lacking humor, Seba placed fake specimens in his cabinet including a seven-headed hydra in order to attract attention. Some of Sebaâs original collection is still on display in museums around the world. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or faint marks to be expected with age. Some of the plates from the work may occasionally have some text offset. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 13 1/4" by 19 1/2".

Add to basketSEA SHELLS - COWRIES AND HELMET SHELLS FROM THE INDO-PACIFIC AND WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN Copper engraving from the so-called Thesaurus by Albertus Seba, published in Amsterdam between 1735-1765. With original hand colouring. Size (frame): 68 x 79 cm. Albertus Seba (1665 - 1736) was a Dutch pharmacist and collector. Seba was popul…ar among sailors who docked in the Amsterdam harbour. The exotic plants and animal products they brought with them were the basis for his recipes. He often traded his medicines for these items and treated the crew members. This is how Seba amassed an enormous collection of birds, snakes, lizards, insects, and shells. He sold his collection in 1725 for 15,000 guilders to Peter the Great, and it has since been part of the Kunstkamera in St. Petersburg. Seba's Thesaurus was an extraordinarily costly work, both in production and acquisition. No fewer than 13 different engravers were involved in creating the many illustrations. The Thesaurus represents an important record of natural historical knowledge from the early 18th century and served both as an academic guide and a decorative encyclopedia. Price: Euro 1.350,- (incl. frame).
