Description:
[Antwerpen,] Philip Galle, [ca. 1600]. Oblong folio (27.4 x 35.5 cm). Engraved allegorical title-page; 21 engraved plates with engraved captions. Near contemporary blind quarter vellum over marbled boards. = A rare, unusually wide-margined copy; in fact, possibly the widest margins ever recorded. The amazingly detailed engravings depict fierce battles between men and "beasts", including elephants, lions, leopards, bears, wild oxen, crocodiles, etc. Some scenes are hunting scenes, one shows a Roman circus, with gladiators, three others feature large dragons. A few show bird-catching. The fine, lively scenes were engraved by Jan Collaert I (ca. 1530-1581), Karel van Mallery (1571-1635), and Cornelis Galle I (1576-1650), all after original drawings by Jan van der Straet, called Stradanus (1523-1605). This suite was reprinted several times, into the 19th century. This however, is a very early printing. A complete suite should contain 102 plates. This is the rare start, without interruptions, and… Read More

Paris, Larousse, [ca. 1970, but published 2013]. Single sheet (24.4 x 17.5 cm). Original watercolour drawing with pencilled caption, and ink signature. Mounted on a larger sheet of grey paper (32.4 x 25.0 cm). = A beautiful original illustration by the French engineer, ornithologist, and natural history painter Paul Louis Ernest Adrien Barruel (1901-1982).

While Barruel was being trained as an engineer, observation of nature became his passion and, in the 1930s, he filled sketchbooks with animals and plants out of desire to find the names of all species he encountered. He publishes his first note on ornithology in 1934. From then on, he travelled across France and abroad to observe and illustrate birds and other wildlife. Together with his wife he visited Morocco and Spain in 1936, Spain in 1936, Britanny and… Read More
