Description from the seller

アルドロヴァンディの『魚類』よりの大判葉。表面には彩色済みの大版木版画。\n\nボローニャ、N. Thebaldini刊 1638年\n\n後年に手彩色。\n\nNissen ZBI 70. Nissen, Fischb. 7. Westwood/Satchell 3. Huber 56. - アルドロヴァンディ（1522-1605）は、 contemporaries の中で—皮肉も含まれるかもしれないが—自然史の「汎天頂大司祭（Pontifex Maximus）」と呼ばれ、その徹底性と長広腆さを極限まで追求した。しかし芸術的には彼の人物像は無条件に称賛に値する…とくに Nürnberg 出身の木工職人 Cristoforo Coriolano（Lederer?）を高く評価しており、彼とその孫が描いた図像は、銅版画のようにエレガントに彫られている、とされる（Nissen, Fischbücher S. 14 f.）。\n\n良好。右上隅に軽い滲みがあり（木版画には触れていません）。画像をよくご確認ください。

Seller's Story

Having studied at Oxford University in the early 1980s I was lucky enough to learn about the rare book and print trade by scuttling around the markets and auction houses of London at a time when it was still quite possible to discover "that find". Similarly I was able to hone my specialist interests in illustrated Natural History, Mythology and Science, something that I hope is still reflected in the items I offer. The aim is to offer the rare, interesting, unusual, beautiful and strange, from Master Engravings to Exquisite Folios. So at the very least we hope your visit to the site to be a rewarding and enlightening experience! Daniel Good Rare Books
