FREYER, Christian Friedrich (1794-1885)

Beiträge zur Geschichte europäischer Schmetterlinge mit Abbildungen nach der Natur. Augsburg: 1827-[1830].

Extremely scarce German work on butterflies rarely found complete. We have only been able to trace one other copy at auction in the past 50 years (RBH), and that was incomplete (Zisska and Schauer Auktion 52, 11 May 2008, lot 790, lacking pp.57-60, EUR 3,042). Junk, Rara 130; Nissen ZBI 1426 (both bibliographies giving place of publication as Nuremberg).



3 volumes, small octavo (168 x 105mm), comprising 3 vols of 24 Hefte bound in one text vol. and 2 vols of plates. 3 volume titles in text vol. with that for vol, 1 (Hefte 1-8) dated 1828, part-titles for Hefte 1-3 present dated 18272 ll. of index and 1l. of errata at end of first 8 Hefte, 144 engraved plates coloured by a contemporary hand (occasional insignificant faint soiling). Contemporary half cloth over fine-combed marbled-paper covered boards (inner hinge to first vol. of plates splitting, extremities faintly rubbed). Provenance: evidence of bookplates removed – C. Daniel (inscriptions in text vol.) – a few sparse neat annotations in the text, some in red ink.
