The fine plates were drawn by Bartusch, Ehrenberg, Finzi, Roch and Röthig, and executed by Fink, Röthig, Weber and Wienker.
    A fine copy of this scarce botanical report. Printed on fine wove paper, wholly untrimmed and in the original printed portfolio with the title on the front in an elaborate border and a list of the first 10 plates on the back.

  • A proposito di opere artista
    Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795, Delitzsch – 1876, Berlino) è stato un biologo tedesco, esploratore scientifico e fondatore della micropaleontologia, ovvero lo studio dei microrganismi fossili. Terminò i suoi studi all'Università di Berlino nel 1818 e fu associato all'università per tutta la sua carriera. Partecipò a una spedizione scientifica in Egitto, Libia, Sudan dal 1820 al 1825. Insieme a Von Humbold partecipò a un viaggio in Asia centrale e in Siberia nel 1829, spedizione sponsorizzata dallo zar Nicola I. Ehrenberg credeva che tutti gli animali (piccoli o grande) possiedono sistemi di organi completi. Le sue opere più importanti includono Reisen in Aegypten, Libyen, Nubien und Dongula (1828; Viaggi in Egitto, Libia, Nubia e Dongola) e Die Infusionstierchen als volkommene Organismen (1838; The Infusiora come organismi completi).
