Together three works in one volume, folio (425 x 264 mm). First work: title, 34 pp., 2 ff., 4 mezzotint illustrations consisting of 2 joined plates each; second work: title, 45 pp., with 5 full-page mezzotint plates plus 1 combined folding plate assembled from 3 separate plates joined; third work: title, 26 pp., with 4 full-page colored mezzotint plates.
Binding: nineteenth century vellum, raised bands to spine, compartments tooled and lettered in gilt, upper and lower joints starting, somewhat rubbed and soiled. A few plates with tears repaired on verso, dampstaining to some lower margins and a few portions of text, some browning and spotting, overall in excellent condition.
Provenance: small bookplate on front flyleaf with old pencil annotation; presumably this is the Richard Harris copy, according to the description, unsold at Bloomsbury Auctions 2010 (150,000-200,000 $), and was offered with a separately bound Myologie by Gautier.
