Abstract
-
en_US
Here are Volumes I and II out of six, covering Books I-IV. Besides the frontispiece, there are 95 full-page illustrations, matching the details of Oudry's work (Bodemann #135.1) to a remarkable degree in the details. Volume I was published in 1761, and Volume II in 1764. The illustrations are remarkably well preserved here. The outside of the book, by contrast, is not impressive. The green cloth of the front cover is sun-bleached and the spine is deteriorating. Bodemann #135.6 seems to list Volume II as published in 1764 and Volume I in 1786, but the title-page of Volume I here has 1761. The title-page to Volume II, perhaps slightly out of place in this copy, gives a date of 1764. I find the illustrations strong!
