STOLL, Caspar (d.1795)

Natuurlyke en naar 't leeven naauwkeurig gekleurde afbeeldingen en beschryvingen der cicaden en wantzen, in alle vier waerelds deelen Europa, Asia, Africa en America huishoudende. Amsterdam: J.C. Sepp, 1780-1788.

Fine hand-coloured plates of two of Stoll’s entomological works with the rare general title. Very little is known about Stoll who died either in 1792 or 1795. He was a clerk at the Admiralty of Amsterdam, and chose to publish on insects from the Dutch colonies in the West Indies. Jan Christiaan Sepp (1739-1811), bookseller and publisher, produced some of the finest Dutch natural history colour-plate books of the 18th century, and as a keen entomologist he may well have produced the illustrations for the present works. Landwehr 191; Nissen ZBI 3999 and 4000.



2 parts in one volume, quarto (287 x 230mm). General- and 2 part- letterpress titles, Dutch and French text in double column, 2 hand-coloured engraved frontispieces and 70 plates, all coloured by a contemporary hand (some plates cropped close sometimes with loss or partial loss of plate numbers and just into engraved image of frontispieces, occasional light spotting and browning).). Slightly later calf, spine with raised bands with red morocco gilt lettering pieces, gilt edges, marbled endpapers (joints repaired at head and foot, extremities rubbed, corners bumped). Provenance: ink ownership inscription dated 1790 – some neat ink annotations to indices.
