KLEEMANN (Christian Friedrich Carl). Beytrage zur Natur- und - Lot 39
KLEEMANN (Christian Friedrich Carl). Beytrage zur Natur- und Insecten-Geschichte. Nurenberg, Raspe, 1792-1793. 2 volumes in one vol. and one portfolio in-4, 17.5 x 21 cm, 2 ff. 16 + 404 pp. & 4 ff., 196 pp. & XLVIII + XXV plates (numbered XXIV) in flyleaf, first-half 19th-century Bradel-style hardback in shagreened paper and identical softback portfolio. Uncommon first edition of this remarkable entomological work, dealing mainly with butterflies. Illustrated with 73 finely watercolored plates engraved by the author. Flying, they are preserved in a portfolio made at the same time as the hardback. The work is a posthumous sequel by his son-in-law Chr. Fr. C. Kleeman and his daughter Catharina Barbara Kleemann, of Rosel von Rosenhof's Der monatlich herausgegebenen Insectenbelustigung... (1740-1761). A very good copy with remarkably fresh plates, from the natural history library of Gilbert Dufaux (cold-stamped on the title and on the flap of the portfolio). Library stamp skilfully scratched on title. Corners lightly rubbed, portfolio lightly rubbed with small paper loss on spine, not serious. Nissen ZBI 2201. Expert : Cédric et Ithier de FOUGEROLLE
