Anker 69, Zimmer 94, Wood 257. - Erste Ausgabe des prachtvollen Vogelbuches. Frühes systematisch aufgebautes Werk. "Written by one of the greatest connaisseurs of birds of the time, the work deals with 1336 species in addition to 150 'varieties' distributed over 115 genera, which are again grouped in 26 orders...The plates, which are folded, were drawn and engraved by Martinet. Both artistically and as accurate detail studies they are better than those of the most of his predecessors. (Anker 69).
