Albertus Seba's Cabinet of Natural Curiosities books

Albertus Seba's Cabinet of Natural Curiosities (Jumbo) by Albertus Seba (Author), Irmgard Musch (Editor). Albertus Seba's "Cupboard of Curiosities" is among the 18th century's greatest natural historical past achievements and remains one of the prized natural historical past books of all time. Though it was widespread for men of his career to gather natural specimens for research functions, Amsterdam-based mostly pharmacist Albertus Seba had a passion that led him far beyond the call of duty. His amazing, unprecedented collection of animals, crops and bugs from all around the globe gained worldwide fame during his lifetime. After a long time of collecting, Seba commissioned illustrations of each specimen and organized the publication of a 4-quantity catalog detailing his entire collection. This very good, complete reproduction is taken from a rare, handcolored original.

That is the perfect reward for an inconceivable to purchase in person. The e-book is massive in measurement and content. Full of attention-grabbing drawings of creatures and crops practically each page could be taken from the ebook and framed. I highly suggest this guide to lovers of nature or art. Each time you flip it open you might be certain to see something new. Cupboard of curiosities indeed!

Completely beautiful. What's not to like?!! And the value is cheaper than Alibris or wherever else. Stunning foldout poster in the course of the book. Shade copy any page and body it. It's all beautiful. I'm getting it for my nephew also. It's nice for a cautious and curious 5 12 months-previous to learn about bugs, birds, seashells and amphibians.

Don't even give it some thought- purchase this one. It's enormous and will require its personal room however is wonderful in every way. Watch the youngsters in the event that they wish to learn it because the fold out pages are tough, but they will be totally fascinated with the illustrations. I had seen it on espresso tables in dozens of design magazines and eventually was curious sufficient to get out a magnifying glass and check the title. Purchase it- you'll not be disappointed.
