RARE FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH of Baron Wilhelm Friedrich von Gleichen-Russworm's Das neueste aus dem Reiche der Pflanzen (1764). Von Gleichen-Russwurm was a naturalist and musicologist who worked in the service of the Margrave of Bayreuth. In 1760 he met microscopist Martin Ledermüller, leading him to also take up the microscope to conduct research. Most of his work concentrated on the fertilization and pollination of plants. In this study of microorganisms, Gleichen-Russwurm introduced the process of phagocytic staining, a technique that was not commonly used until the 19th century. The plates in this work were engraved by J.C. Keller after Gleichen-Russworm, and the headpieces by J.M. Stock after Keller. 45 of the plates illustrate details of floral structure, various pollens, or insects. The first six plates are devoted to the specially constructed microscope and its accessories with which Gleichen conducted his researches.
