Goldfuss
Animal and Insect Prints
The "Naturalist Atlas" by
Georg August Goldfuss(Bayreuth 1782 - 1848 Bonn). This extra
large-size collection of lithographs of spectacular modern
coloring depicting animals, birds, reptiles, fish, etc.
published in Duesseldorf, at Arnz from 1824 -1842, was
issued over this long period of time inserial parts of
twenty prints each per annum. There are no officially bound
copies. And, as always when so much time passes, few copies
will have been completed with all 454 prints. Subscribers
may have died, lost interest, run out of money or may have
had any other reason to discontinue collecting this work.
And loose pages, especially when so large, have a tendency
to get in the way or create problems of storage. Many have
been folded to handy size, rolled up or simply lost. This
makes these decorative oversize prints rare and sought. Here
is an exerpt of our stock. Please ask us if you are looking
for special animals.
Prints have watermark: J.
Waterman. The prints are more beautiful than the photos and
scans below.
Our prints are in very nice
condition. However they show some signs of age, such as
general age toning, a few non-disturbing wrinkles, some
minor spotting or other little blemishes. A few have small
repaired tears in margins. Any major flaw will be
individually mentioned.
Size of page: ca 45.5 x 58 cm (
17.9 x 23 " )
Interesting details of several
families of butterflies and moths. Good Condition.
