Lacepede - 4 Fish Engravings
This beautifully hand-colored engraving is from Bernard-Germain-Etienne, comte de Lacepede's Oeuvres Du Comte De Lacepede. The work was the edition published in Brussels between 1833 and 1839.
Lacepede (1756-1825) was a noble naturalist, survivor of the French revolution, and collaborator of noted publisher Buffon. This work is considered a continuation Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, with him publishing the parts on fishees, reptiles, and cetaceans.
Paper Size: ~ 6" by 9 1/4"
The work is in good to excellent condition overall. There may be some very light text offset. There may be a few minor marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
