Paris, Grandidier, [no date, but 1889]. 4to-sized (32.0 x 24.5 cm). Well preserved hand-painted engraving of shells.
A fine plate containing wonderfully exact illustrations and the first valid introduction of new species of shells from a rich and stunningly diverse fauna. This print in very good condition with some soiling. Otherwise clean. No creases, dents or tears present.
