[EAN: 9783822852781], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Taschen America Llc, Koln, Germany], COLLECTIBLE; COLLECTIBLE., Jacket, ISBN:3822852783. [Folio_9.9"{X13.5"}192p.Multilingual Edition in English, German & Franch. ill.(col_plates) At a time when few women were educated or literate – and rarely travelled – German-born naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717) made history with her studies of insects in Surinam. Trained as a copperplate engraver and watercolorist, she documented the metamorphosis of butterflies, laying the foundation for modern entomology. There is a 1.75"x0.25" bit of faint "discoloration" at foredge of cover , near its midpoint, created through restoration, by removal of a crayola mark. However, because Taschen's printing process lays down each cover color separately, the discoloration, which is the underlying cover color, appears as a harmonious optical match with the front cover art. A unique copy of this title, of special interest to the community of amateur and professional book restorers. Otherwise, Fine in custom cut and fitted Brodart Archival Clear Mylar Dustjacket.
