Die Eier der Europäischen Vögel nach der Natur gemalt. Iserloun: J. Baedeker, 1855.

The work is divided into four parts: Accipitres, Oscines, Grallae and Natatores.

II 2 with title-page; overall 80 chromolithographic plates, all mounted on stubs (plates numbered with roman numerals in pencil by later hand, scattered spotting throughout, most heavily affecting plates 71 and 80, marginal tears to plate 24, repaired on verso with tape, pp. 55-6 extended, pp. 48-9 of vol. 2 with damage to corner). Contemporary brown half roan, pebble-grained burgundy cloth boards, spine lettered and decorated in gilt, patterned green endpapers (extremities rubbed, most heavily affecting spine). Provenance: J. G. van Marle (bookplate).
