Description: Welcome to Antiquus Gallery!"ADD TO CART" to select all items before paying = automatic combined shipping*Description: This beautiful folio engraving with original hand-coloring is from Heinrich Carl Küster's edition of "Systematisches Conchylien-Cabinet von Martini und Chemnitz". Küster (14 February 1807 – April 1876) was a German malacologist (researcher of mollusks) and entomologist. From 1836, he worked as an instructor at a trade school (Gewerbschule) in Erlangen. He conducted scientific excursions in Sardinia (1831) as well as in Dalmatia and Montenegro (1840–41). He was the originator of "Die Käfer Europas, nach der Natur beschrieben" (Beetles of Europe, described from nature), a multi-volume series (1844-1912) that was continued by Ernst Gustav Kraatz and Friedrich Julius Schilsky. Also, he provided drawings for Carl Wilhelm Hahn's ornithological work, "Voegel, aus Asien, Africa, America, und Neuholland, in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen". "Systematisches Conchylien-Cabinet von Martini und Chemnitz" is the continuation of the beautiful monumental work on mollusks that began in Nurnberg in the late 18th century and culminated in the production of the spectacular collection of shell prints entitled "Neues systematisches conchylien-cabinet" by Martini and Chemnitz. The work started by Kuster has been continued after his death and well into the early 20th century. We will be offering over 150 plates from the rare volumes published from 1837 through 1850's.
