Stuttgart: J. Engelhorn, 1861. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. In green embossed boards with gilt decoration and title to upper board. Illustrated with 36 hand-tinted plates depicting animals, insects, butterflies, sea creatures, plants, and minerals. Foxing throughout text pages, but not on plates, probably because a different type of paper was used. Some slight browning and handling wear around edges of plates. Small loss to corner of plate 29, not affecting images. Tracing of giraffe in blue pencil on verso of one plate. Some of the plates have the names of the animals written on them in pencil or in ink. Writing on rear pastedown. Some aging and wear to boards, but binding remains square and strong. A scarce collection of beautiful antique animal plates.
