This collection comprises 80 colour plates, separated into two paperback volumes with decorated blue covers, in a superb state of freshness (rare foxing to a few plates), housed in a lace-up slipcase decorated with full brocaded silk with floral motifs. A MAGNIFICENT EXEMPLAIRE, whose subjects include birds, insects such as beetles, butterflies and praying mantises, fruit, vegetables, animated scenes with figures, landscapes and various views, sometimes accompanied by poems or seals.
