Island - - Eggert Olafsen und Biarne Povelsen. Voyage en Islande, fait par ordre de S.M. Danoise, contenant des observations sur les moeurs et les usages des Habitans; avec une description des Lacs, Rivières, Glaciers, Sources chaudes et Volcans; des diverses espèces de Terre, Pierres, Fossiles & Pétrifications; des Animaux, Poissons, Insectes, etc. Mit 60 gestoch. Tafeln. Paris, Levrault, 1802. 5 Bde. und Atlasband 8° u. 4°. Ppbde. d. Zt. u. spät Ppbd. (etwas bestoßen und berieben). Zur Zeit kein vollständiges Exemplar im internationalen Antiquariatshandel nachweisbar. Erste Ausgabe aus dem Dänischen übersetzt von Gauthier de Lapeyronie. Die Originalausgabe in dänischer Sprache erschien 1772. Diese französische Übersetzung hat 8 Tafeln mehr als die dänische Originalausgabe. Die früheste wissenschaftliche Arbeit über Island, die den Maßstab für alle nachfolgenden Islandstudien setzte. Die Tafeln zeigen die eigentümlichen isländischen geologischen Formationen, Vulkane, typisch isländische Vögel und Fische, Muscheln und isländische Tracht. Olafsen und Povelsen wurden von der Kopenhagener Akademie der Wissenschaften beauftragt, eine wissenschaftliche Reise nach Island zu unternehmen, um alle Aspekte der Insel zu untersuchen, von der sie damals nur vage und unvollkommene Vorstellungen hatten. Das Werk gibt einen Überblick über ihre Forschung. Schönes Exemplar des Atlas mit einer großen Faltkarte von Island und 59 botanischen, zoologischen und landskundlichen Tafeln. Titelseite des Atlas am Rand hinterlegt, eine Tafel mit hinterlegten Einriss am Rand, wenige Blätter am Rand etwas schmutzfleckig. - Insgesamt gutes Exemplar. At present no complete copy can be found in the international antiquarian book trade. First edition translated from Danish by Gauthier de Lapeyronie. The original edition in Danish appeared in 1772. This French translation has 8 plates more than the Danish original edition. The earliest scientific work on Iceland, which set the standard for all subsequent Icelandic studies. The plates show the peculiar Icelandic geological formations, volcanoes, typical Icelandic birds and fish, shells and Icelandic costume. Olafsen and Povelsen were commissioned by the Copenhagen Academy of Sciences to undertake a scientific trip to Iceland to study all aspects of the island of which they had only vague and imperfect ideas at the time. This work gives an overview of their research. Beautiful copy of the atlas with a large folding map of Iceland and 59 botanical, zoological and landscape panels. Title page of the atlas backed at margin, one plate with backed tear at margin, few sheets somewhat stained at margin. - Good copy overall.

Zoologie - - Eugen Johann Christoph Esper. Die ausländische oder die ausserhalb Europa zur Zeit in den übrigen Welttheilen vorgefundene Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen. Erster Theil (= alles Erschienene).

Erlangen, Wolfgang Walther, 1801. Horn & Schenkling 6085; Nissen ZBI, 1317. - Nissen, ZBI 1317. - Erste Ausgabe. Überaus prachtvolles Werk mit den fein kolorierten Tafeln nach Zeichnungen von Esper. Unter den Stechern sind J. C. Bock, J. G. Sturm, H. J. Tyroff etc. Die Tafeln zeigen bis zu vier verschiedene Schmetterlinge, teilweise mit ihren Raupen und Puppen. Das nuancenreiche Kolorit der Kupfer zeigt die Flügel jeweils von der Außen- sowie der Innenseite, diese teils mit metallisch-glänzenden Höhungen versehen und in variationsreicher Oberflächengestaltung. Einge Tafeln sind zusätzlich mit Raupen- und Pflanzendarstellungen illustriert, um so die Metamorphose und das Habitat der Schmetterlinge anzudeuten. "With Esper a real scholar arrives on the scene, and while so far we have seen a constant rise in the artistic quality of illustration, we are now aware for the first time of the so-called scientific approach, which did so much damage to Europ's culture in the nineteenth century. Esper did not hesitate to show one wing of inherently beautiful butterflies as seen from above, and the other one as seen from below" (Pfeiffer). 1830 erschien in Leipzig bei Weigel eine mit Zusätzen erweiterte Titelauflage. - Titelblatt minimal braunfleckig, einige Blatt mit Wasserfleck im unteren Rand, zwei Blatt mit Knickspur.

Beobachtungen an einer neuentdeckten Zwitterphaläne des Bombyx Crataegi. Erlangen, Wolfgang Walther, 1778. 20 pp. with colored engraved plate - VD18 1445761X-004. "With Esper a real scholar arrives on the scene, and while so far we have seen a constant rise in the artistic quality of illustration, we are now aware for the first time of the so-called scientific approach, which did so much damage to Europe's culture in the nineteenth century. Esper did not hesitate to show one wing of inherently beautiful butterflies as seen from above, and the other one as seen from below' (Pfeiffer). Still, even Pfeiffer admits that this method offered new possibilities of comparative evaluation to the scholar, and Esper cannot be denied a strong artistic gift, which was greatly helped by the Nuremberg engraver Johann Carl Bock (fl. 1757-1806). During a stay in the Low Countries Bock was encouraged even more by artists of the school of Maria Sibylla Merian, who had formerly worked in Nuremberg" (Nissen, Bestiaries pp. 71-72). Its fine plates are exceptionally delicately hand-colored and engraved by Bock, Sturm, Tyroff, Volkart, Walbert, a.o. after Esper's own drawings. Eugen Johann Christoph Esper (1742-1810) was a German entomologist and phycologist, professor at Erlangen and director of the Natural History Museum. His other major works are 'Icones Fucorum' published from 1797-1808 and 'Die Pflanzthiere' published from 1788-1830. He obtained his doctorate of philosophy with help of Casimir Christoph Schmidel at the university of Erlangen in 1781 with a thesis entitled De varietatibus specierum in naturale productis. The following year, he started to teach at the university initially as extraordinary professor, a poorly paid position, then in 1797 as the professor of philosophy. He directed the department of natural history in Erlangen from 1805. Thanks to him the university collections of minerals, birds, shells and insects grew very rapidly. During his leisure hours Esper devoted himself to the study of nature and the preparation of manuscripts relating to natural history. He was the author of a series of booklets entitled Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen which were published between 1776 and 1807. These were richly illustrated, minerals, birds, plants, shells and insects being presented on hand-coloured plates. Esper's collection is today in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München . Title page minimally brown spotted, some leaves with waterstain at lower margin, two leaves with crease marks. Nice and complete copy, splendid colouring.

Gillis Gillisz. de Bergh Gillis Gillisz. de Bergh um 1600 Delft - 1669 ebenda Vanitasstillleben mit Muscheln Auf einer Steinplatte Muscheln, eine Uhr, ein Akeleipokal und ein umgestürztes venezianisches Glas. Dabei Blumen in einer Glasvase und ein an einen Schädel gelehntes Buch. U. M. signiert und 1637 datiert. Öl auf Holz. 61 x 73,5 cm. Rest. Rahmen. Die Anzahl der heute noch nachweisbaren Gemälde Gillis de Berghs ist klein, datierte Gemälde von seiner Hand sind selten. Gillis de Bergh war vermutlich Schüler des Cornelis Jacobsz. Delff. In seiner austarierten, additiven Art der Komposition steht auch das vorliegende Vanitasstillleben Werken Delffs nahe, erinnert in seiner Strenge und Schlichtheit aber auch an Stillleben des Floris van Schooten. Nach anfänglich an Caravaggios dramatisches Helldunkel erinnernder Licht- und Schattengebung gibt De Bergh diese jedoch zugunsten einer eher klassizistisch anmutenden, kühlen Beleuchtungssituation auf, die auch das angebotene Vanitasstillleben prägt. Besonders beeindruckend bei vorliegendem Gemälde ist das genaue Studium der Oberflächen der dargestellten Gegenstände, seien es die glänzend-glatten oder eher scharf-rauhen Schalen der Muscheln, der wertvolle, edel schimmernde goldene Akeleipokal oder das zart-zerbrechliche venezianische Glas. In seiner künstlerischen Gestaltung nimmt De Bergh hierin die Werke seines um eine Generation jüngeren flämischen Kollegen Jan van Kessel in höchster Qualität und Eindrücklichkeit voraus. Provenienz: Privatsammlung Österreich (bis 1997). - Galerie Sanct Lucas, Wien (1997). - Privatsammlung Süddeutschland. Gillis Gillisz. de Bergh Gillis Gillisz. de Bergh circa 1600 Delft - 1669 ibid. Vanitas still life with shells Signed and dated 1637 lower centre. Oil on panel. 61 x 73.5 cm. Restored. Framed. The number of Gillis de Bergh's paintings which can still be found today is small, dated paintings by his hand are rare. Gillis de Bergh probably was a student of Cornelis Jacobsz Delff. In its well-balanced, additive way of composition the present vanitas still life is also close to Delff's works, but in its severity and simplicity it also reminds of the still lifes by Floris van Schooten. What is particularly impressive in this painting is the precise study of the depicted subjects: the shiny-smooth or rather sharp-rough shells, the precious, nobly shimmering golden goblet or the delicate, fragile Venetian glass. De Bergh anticipates the works of his Flemish colleague Jan van Kessel, who is one generation younger, in the highest quality and impressive manner.

The three behind-the-scenes shots show Sean Connery, Ursula Andress and various crew members filming in Jamaica. The shell displays a small hole and a large crack on the spire, while light creasing is present on the photographs.
