New edition, and first illustrated edition, with a frontispiece by Dunker engraved by Lacroix, a figure on the title page, 6 very fine head-pieces and several tailpieces, all by Dunker. This edition has been revised and the texts improved in translation by Vincent Bernhard de Tscharner.
Binding in half dark green shagreen ca 1850. Spine with false raised bands decorated with compartments and fillets in cold and hot stamping. Rubbing to headcaps.
Though slender, the poetic production of the celebrated Swiss physician and naturalist played a determining role in the formation of German lyricism, not to mention that his poetry collections mark Switzerland's entry into literature.
