Sepp, Jan Christiaan (1739-1811)
Beschouwing der Wonderen Gods in de Minstgeachtte Schepzelen of Nederlandsche Insecten.

Amsterdam: Gedrukt voor den Auteur, 1762.

Six quarto parts, illustrated with 50 hand-colored engravings (including general engraved title), the sheets folded but never trimmed, sewn, or bound, in pristine state, 7 3/4 x 10 in.

This exceptional example of 18th century book production looks as fresh as one might have found it in a book store in 1762.

Horn & Schenkling, p. 1115; Nissen, ZBI 3808; Landwehr,182.

Provenance: from the Stephen White Collection.
