Description
Cobres, an Italo-German banker, produced this two-volume catalogue of his extensive collection in natural history, and sponsored its printing. It is issued as it emerged from the printer’s: in wrappers of speckled brown paper printed after the fashion of a permanent binding. He donated this set to a scientific scholar, who retained this set as issued, leaving us this surviving witness.
