ISBN 9783822816004. Albertus Seba's Cabinet of Curiosities is one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements. Though it was common for men of his profession to collect natural specimens for research purposes, Amsterdam-based pharmacist Albertus Seba had a passion that led him far beyond the call of duty. His amazing, unprecedented collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. After decades of collecting, Seba commissioned illustrations of each specimen and arranged the publication of a four- volume catalog detailing his entire collection. This superb, complete reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original book.
