Paris, P. Bertrand; Strasbourg, V. Levrault, 1839. Folio (33.8 x 25.0 cm). Lithographed plate.
A fine, chromolithographed plate from a very important and rare monograph on the natural history of South America, being the results of years of travels and collecting by one of the foremost French zoologists and palaeontologists. The plate shows newly discovered algae in fine colours and shades. A very good, clean copy.
