With engr. title, 12 full-page etchings by Theodoor Galle, engr. printer's device on second title (p. 271), woodcut printer's device at end. 8 leaves, 307, (1) pp., 13 leaves index (lacking last blank). Small 4to. Mottled calf in contemp. style (new endpapers). In slipcase. Antwerp, Plantin-Moretus, 1605. First edition. A moralistic emblem book on opportunity and neglected opportunity, followed by a drama embodying the author's precepts. Johannes David (1545-1613) was principal of Jesuit schools at Courtrai and Ghent.

Description:
Berne, Brunner & Haller, 1773. With engr. frontispiece by David Herrliberger, and 49 engravings on 25 (of 26) plates by B.-A. Dunker (?). IX, 71 pp., (1) blank p. (misbound). 4to (150 x 200 mm). Old stiff boards. Berne, Brunner & Haller, 1773. First edition of an illustrated French-German parallel edition. It contains the original German poem "The Alps", by Albrecht von Haller (which was first published in 1732 in a small volume entitled "Versuch Schweizerischer Gedichte") and for Goethe "the beginning of a national German literature" and its translation into French by Vinzent von Tscharner. The delightful engravings by David Herrliberger (1697-1777) make this present book one of the most beautiful illustrated Swiss books of the 18th century. Lonchamp and Rümann suggest, that the unsigned rococo leaves probably are made by B.-A. Dunker (1746-1807). More likely however, is that Johann Rudolf Holzhalb (1723-1806) made the delicate drawings since we can find a… Read More

Description:
Paris, Dufour, Mulat & Boulanger, 1856-58. With engr. plate by Oudet after Chazal ("L'Homme"), and 99 handcolored wood-engr. plates after Edouard de Traviès, partly gummed. Large 8vo. 19th-cent. half leather, gilt lettering on spines (by C. Honegger, Basel). Paris, Dufour, Mulat & Boulanger, 1856-58. Buffon's (1707-1788) highly popular works, one of numerous 19th century editions. Volumes I and II are of a general nature, dealing with the history of the earth, minerals, metals, the development of plants, animals, and humans, human races etc.; volume III deals with mammals, domestic and wild, and volumes IV and V with birds. He was one of the first to give empirical explanations to natural phenomena rather than refer to the biblical creation myth. "Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science" (DSB), which no doubt worked in his favour with the general reader. His natural history, written in an elegant style, can be rightfully… Read More
