Louis Liger was a prominent 17th-century French writer known for his works on flora and fauna. He is chiefly remembered for his major work 'Nouvelle Maison Rustique,' or 'The New Rustic House.' Originally titled 'General Economics of Country Goods,' this work went through dozens of editions and reissues following its initial release in 1700. This work covers all aspects of rural life in an encyclopedic form including hunting, gardening, fishing, falconry, wine making, beer brewing, cooking, and bee keeping.
This two-volume 1775 edition is filled with 38 fascinating full-page and folding plates alongside 32 in-text woodcut engravings.
