Though scientists of his era often collected natural specimens for research purposes Amsterdam - based pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665 1736) was unrivalled in his passion. His amazing collection of animals plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting Seba commissioned careful and often scenic illustrations of every specimen. With these meticulous drawings he arranged for the publication of a four - volume catalog covering the entire collection from strange and exotic plants to snakes frogs crocodiles shellfish corals birds and butterflies as well as now extinct creatures. This reproduction is taken from a rare hand - colored original. The introduction supplies background information about the fascinating tradition of natural collections to which Seba's curiosities belonged.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Seba.
