De uitlandsche Kapellen voorkomende in de drie Waereld-Deelen... Papillons exotiques des trois parties du monde l’Asie, l’Afrique et l’Amerique. Amsterdam and Utrecht: S.J. Baalde and Barthelemy Wild, [1775-] 1779-82 [-84].
A very crisp copy of the first edition of Cramer and Stoll’s encyclopaedic work on butterflies. Landwehr notes that ‘one may conclude [from the subscribers list] that an edition of 500 copies was printed’ (Dutch Books with Coloured Plates, p.50). BM(NH) V, p.2028; Brunet II, 404; Landwehr Dutch Books with Coloured Plates 53 (giving title-page date of 1781 for volumes III-IV); Nissen ZBI 985.
34 parts bound in 6 volumes, comprising 4 vols of text bound in 2, and 4 vols of plates, quarto (300 x 257mm). Text in Dutch and French in parallel columns. All volumes with letterpress titles, vol. I with engraved additional title by Theodore Koning after Jacobus Buys (1724-1801) and 4pp. list of subscribers, 400 hand-coloured engraved plates after Gerrit Wartenaar Lambertsz (1747-1803), interleaved with contemporary blue paper annotated with names of specimens in a 19th-century hand, further similar annotations on paper slips loosely inserted (small marginal chip to leaf 2I1 in vol. IV, lacking second engraved additional title in vol. II, and 4pp. revised list of subscribers in vol. III, otherwise a very clean, crisp copy, without the supplement published in 1787-1791). Contemporary half calf over speckled boards, spine in 7 compartments gilt with red morocco labels (extremities rubbed, more heavily to spine ends and corners with some slight wear, joints cracking, but bindings remain solid).
