Natural Curiosities: From the Cabinet of Albertus Seba presents a selection of extraordinary natural-history illustrations drawn from the celebrated 18th-century collection of Amsterdam pharmacist and naturalist Albertus Seba (1665–1736).
This oversized TASCHEN Portfolio edition contains 14 removable/frameable color prints, reproducing Seba’s elaborate depictions of birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, shells, marine life, corals and other natural curiosities. The artwork combines early scientific observation with the highly decorative presentation that made Seba’s original Cabinet of Natural Curiosities one of the landmark illustrated natural-history works of the 18th century. TASCHEN describes Seba\'s original catalog as one of the period\'s great natural-history achievements.
The portfolio is multilingual, with introductory text in English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese.
