Description: 1834 GUERIN HANDCOLORED ENGRAVING “Dictionnaire Pittoresque d’Histoire Naturelle“ VERY RARE no reserve Guerin Plate #517 Physionomie – Physiognomy Fripon (Rascal/Frechdachs), Knipperdolling Bernhard Knipperdolling (c. 1495 – January 22, 1536) was a Reverend and German leader of the Münster Anabaptists. He was also known as Bernd or Berndt Knipperdollinck or Knypperdollynck or Bertrand Knipperdoling (US); his birth name was van Stockem. This original antique handcolored engraving is taken from the rare first french edition of Guerins „Dictionnaire Pittoresque d’Histoire Naturelle et des Phénomènes de la Nature“ (Picturesque Dictionairy of Natural History and natural Phenomena), published by „Bureau de Souscription, Rue Saint-Germain-des-Prés, n°4“ and printed by „Imprimerie de Cosson, Rue Saint-Germain-des-Prés, n°4“ in Paris, 1834. Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville (1799-1874) was a natural history scientist, specializing in entomology. He published several volumes of his "Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History" in the spirit of the "19th Century Collector's Cabinets" in their wide-ranging investigations of natural phenomena and interest in exotic or unknown species. The highly decorative plates of his work are vividly hand colored engravings which are an eclectic collection of curious and wonderful images of birds, fish, insects, flowers and people. Each print is a masterpiece of composition, often with a mélange of different creatures and plants artfully arranged on the same plate. The plates are mostly signed by Adolphe Fries, Pfitzer, Acarie-Baron, Pedretti, Aries and Dumenil. Apart from his work as a publisher Guerin-Meneville identified certain species of beetles that are named after him. His historically important collectors cabinet of Crustacea is now in the collection of the Invertebrates Department at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. SIZE: approx. 7'' x 11''/18 cm x 28,5 cm QUALITY: The plate is in nearly excellent condition (see scan), and the hand coloring is very bright and intense. Please review the scans carefully as they are very accurate. All my prints are ORIGINAL ANTIQUES - this delivery is accompanied by a copy of the title. There is no descriptive text available, as these prints were bound again later separately from the text. PAYMENT & SHIPPING: Each of my prints is placed between white foam boards in solid carton. My environment is smoke-free.
