AVAILABLE PRINTS – PLEASE INQUIRE

This plate originates from: ‘Catalogus Systematicus Coleopterorum. Catalogue systèmatique des coleotères. Systematische Naamlijst van dat geslacht van Insecten, dat men Torren noemt.’, by Johan Eusebius Voet. First published in 2 volumes in The Hague in 1766/1769 by G. Bakhuysen. Volume 1 has 48 & 24 plates (part II). Volume 2 has text in Latin, Dutch, & French. Ref.: Horn & Schenkling 22791.

In 1804/1806 a title ed. (second ed.) was published by G. Bakhuysen, extended with 33 add’l plates by Voet’s successors, which enlarged the plate number to 55 & 50 (part II).

These individual plates are untrimmed, so were possibly never bound. Dating: unclear.

Most plates were engraved by Christian Friedrich Carl Kleemann (1735-1789), who was the son-in-law of the entomologist August Roesel von Rosenhof. Other engravers include: Johann Christoph Keller  (1737-c.1796),  Gustav Philipp Trautner (active 1757-1774), Valentinus Bischoff  (1740-1804) and Jacob Andreas Eisenmann  (1748-1782)

Size: quarto.
