BUCHOZ (Pierre-Joseph) Histoire générale des animaux, des végétaux, et des minéraux qui se trouvent dans le royaume... Part I representing the quadrupeds of France. In Paris, by the author and De Bure l'aîné, [circa 1780]. In-folio, [1] f. (engraved title), 40 engraved plates, leaves in modern folder (minor flaws in some margins).
Very rare suite published at his own expense by Pierre-Joseph Buchoz (or Buch'oz, 1731-1807). This work appears to have remained unfinished, and we are uncertain as to the exact number of plates produced. This copy contains 40 plates, 21 of which are signed by De Sève, including one numbered XXXI (beaver)| and 19 plates numbered B to U. A total of 59 plates, which may not be from the same suite, but are similar in style. Each plate is divided into two parts, the upper half occupied by the figure and the lower half by an engraved text.
Printed on fine laid paper. Right-hand untrimmed leaves, approx.
50 x 30 cm. engravings incl. text approx. 29 x 18 cm
