Title to part II, dated 1801, used as a general title for the whole. 20 engraved plates coloured by a contemporary hand (lacking titles to parts I and III-IV, that to part II partially erased, some spotting to text, a few plates lightly browned). Contemporary marbled sheep, spine richly gilt, leather spine label gilt, patterned endpapers (light wear at extremities, small portion of fading to upper board). Provenance: Josef Schmidberger (Austrian entomologist and botanist, 1773-1844; inscription on blank endpaper).
