BUFFON Georges-Louis de - Lot 52
BUFFON Georges-Louis de Collection des animaux quadrupèdes... Paris, [Panckoucke], ca. 1765. 2 vols. in-4, 20 x 27,5cm, 16 pp. 182 plates & [2] ff. 180 plates (numbered 183-362), contemporary binding with gilt faux-nerve and red long-grained morocco corners, entirely untrimmed. Exceptional suite of 362 colored plates, almost all engraved after Jacques de Sève, "classified by orders and genera according to Linné's animal system" and not by their engraved number. A good copy with all margins. Many plates are printed on blue paper. Letterpress label of the Périsse brothers' bookshop in Lyon on the first back cover of the first volume. Some marginal spotting and staining, leaves slightly faded, binding slightly rubbed. Plate 312 torn (with damage to the illustration, but not missing) and skilfully repaired in the past.
