- first
A beautiful guide to the identification of woods by their grains and colours, a "Cabinet of Wood."
With 66 fine hand-coloured engraved plates depicting over 550 types of European and exotic woods from India, China and America in cross section, each with a page of wood names in Dutch, German, French, English and Latin.
The title page states that the book was meant "for natural history lovers and keepers of cabinets of natural curiosities."
The book was issued in parts from 1773 and thus the number of plates varies from 24 (Royal Botanic Gardens Kew) to 66 (here). The final 1791 edition had a different title and 106 plates, including a 40-plate supplement.
Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739-1811) was the son of the German instrument maker and cartographer Christiaan Sepp. J.C. Sepp established himself as a bookseller and publisher specializing in natural history.
Martinus Houttuyn (1720-1798), born in Hoorn, studied medicine in Leiden and moved to Amsterdam in 1753. Houttuyn published his own natural history books and also collaborated with Sepp and others.
Condition: Half morocco with gilt decoration and leather label on spine, both hinges starting, marble boards scuffed, endpapers spotted. Binding has been treated with a protective lacquer. Bottom 4cm cut from German title page, interior bright and fresh with crisp engravings and delicate hand-colour.
