Greatly expanded second edition of the magnificent crowning achievement of the lifelong work on insects and their illustration by Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), with twelve plates added to those in the 1705 first edition, this copy with all 72 plates in hand-coloured counter-proofs, probably coloured by Merian's daughters. Thomas Mouffet had proposed around 1600 that certain butterflies went through the stages of egg, caterpillar, pupa and butterfly, but when Merian began studying insects in the 1660s and 1670s the notion that insects came to life by spontaneous generation still prevailed. Her extraordinarily detailed observations illuminated the metamorphosis of all insects in far greater breadth and depth than any of her predecessors, and the quality of her drawings and hand-coloured etchings was much higher. Her study of caterpillars, published in 1679, is now recognized as a ground-breaking book, but her crowning achievement is the present book of her studies of insects in Suriname, where she began work in 1699, with its magnificent plates, whose largest images measure 47 by 31 cm. Its first edition in 1705 brought her great success as a commercial publisher of natural history prints, and a small circle of naturalists appreciated and cited her work, but she remained little-known until the late twentieth century. In the last quarter century, she seems to have eclipsed the fame of her father, Matthäus Merian, one of the most celebrated engravers of the 17th century (her Wikipedia page is four times as long as his!).The first 60 plates had appeared in the first edition, Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium, ., Amsterdam, the author and Gerard Valck, [1705], but the last 12 plates were newly made for the present edition. Work probably began before Merian's death in 1717, two years before publication. We compared the present copy of the 1719 edition with two copies of the 1705 edition: all illustrations in the present copy of the 1719 edition are mirror images of those in the Dutch Royal Library's copy of the 1705 edition, except for plate VIII, and in the Smithsonian copy in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, all plates we checked show ours to be mirror images of those in 1705 (including VIII: perhaps it was replaced in the Royal Library copy). The plates in 1719 are not mirror-image copies but counterproofs, where the copper plate was first printed onto one paper leaf and while it was still wet a blank paper leaf was laid on it and they were put through the rolling press together, transferring the printed image to the blank leaf to make the present prints, which were then coloured by hand, very likely by Merian's daughters. Merian introduced this process in her caterpillar books in 1679 and 1683 (Reitsma, p. 165) and Stijnman & Savage note that she offered hand-coloured counterproofs of her prints at a "much higher price". They required more work to produce, but they looked more like original drawings in the subtler quality of line, usually in the orientation (often reversed when engraved) and showed no impression of the image or of the edge of the copper plate. Only two plates include engraved text: "P Sluyter sculp" in plate XLIV and "88" in plate LXVIII. In the present copy both appear in mirror image, confirming that they are counterproofs. The Merians and Van Oosterwyk probably produced fewer copies with counterproofs than with normal hand-coloured engravings, but the higher cost meant that many went to the libraries of royalty, noblity and wealthy merchant families, where they might stand a better chance to survive.The lettering stamped on the spine is 18th-century in style, but could easily have remained in use in the early 19th-century, but it would have looked increasingly out of date after 1820.With a small smudge in the colouring of the snake in plate 46 and otherwise very slightly and very lightly foxed throughout. The binding is somewhat rubbed and browned.

Gold-tooled vellum (early 1800s), sewn on 8 supports, each board with a large arabesque centrepiece (15.5 x 12.5 cm) with flowers and foliage, with an empty central oval, 2 frames made from 2 different rolls (the inner 9 mm and the outer 10 mm, the latter edged inside with a sawtooth roll), the inner frame with a built-up cornerpiece inside and a crown (26 x 33 mm) outside each corner, the spine with each of the upper 4 and lower 4 compartments containing a built-up centrepiece and 4 cornerpieces, the larger central compartment with 3 lines of text reading up the spine, partly illegible, but probably reading "M S MERIAEN|VERANDERINGEN DER|INSECTEN" and across the head and foot a roll with crossed, dotted diagonal lines. With a built-up armorial centrepiece, apparently preserved from the book's first binding in gold-tooled red goatskin morocco, on-laid on the front board near the centre of the fore-edge: a large cartouche (16 x 10.5 cm) with an oval centre (6 x 5 cm), with, around the oval inside the cartouche, floral and interlaced decorations, foliage and 5-pointed stars, and inside the oval the blind-tooled Cervantes coat of arms (37 x 26 mm: 2 stags - though here without antlers - the upper standing and the lower grazing, above "EX ANTIQUIS", with a gold-tooled bishop's cross and hat, the hat with 6 + 6 tassels). Further with gilt edges, headbands in green and beige (around a double vellum strip). The work is kept in a modern, custom-made case (half red morocco and marbled paper sides, with the title lettered in gold on the spine).

2 leaves, 84 pp.; engraved title- and end-vignette in text, 184 engravings on 47 leaves. First folio edition. Primary leaf (De Europische Insecten), title printed in red and black with hand colored vignette. Illustrated with 184 carefully finely hand colored engravings printed on 47 leaves. Each of the engravings show mostly scenes of decorative flowers and various caterpillars with their appropriate butterflies. The plates originate after Maria Sybilla Merian's own observations and were published for the first time in her 'Raupenbuch', a quart-edition between 1679 und 1717. Maria Sybilla Merian belonged to the first scientists, who watched the insects in a systematic order and she also took a significant part in the investigation of the metamorphosis of the butterflies. With the publication of her books the new knowledge was spread out to a larger circle of the population lived in those days. Theis example is very well preserved, the engravings are probably later colored and are printed on Dutch paper with wide margins in excellent quality. This is the first folio edition and the first appearance of the full suite of Maria Sybilla Merian's plates of the European insects, the companion and complement to her great Surinam work. It is as remarkable for its botanical as for its entomological content: the insects are presented in different stages of metamorphosis on and around flowers. In addition, some Surinamese insects are figured as well, these deriving from Johanna's drawings. Finely hand colored throughout, occasionally minor spotting in text or margins. Rebound in a wine red calf binding, the spine in seven compartments and richly gilt, the covers with decorative blind stamping with gilt fillets to board and spine.

Original antique copper engraving, finely hand colored. Copper engraving, published in the famous series 'Over de Voortteeling en Wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche Insecten'. This interesting leaf shows the developmental stage from frog spawn to tadpole to adult frog. A fine engraving from M.S. Merian's classic work. Maria Sybilla Merian, daughter of the German engraver and publisher Matthäus Merian, devoted herself to the study of European insects and their metamorphoses. As a result of the wealth of tropical varieties being brought back by the Dutch West Indies Company, she decided to visit the Dutch colony of Surinam herself to study and paint the insect life there. She sailed with her daughter Dorothea in June 1699 from Amsterdam, and remained in Surinam until 1701. Also Maria Sybilla Merian's elder daughter Johanna went to Surinam to complete her mothers work. This plate was engraved by P. Sluyter. Plate: 71 In very good to excellent condition. 415 by 305mm (16¼ by 12 inches).

Copper engraving, finely hand colored. Finely hand colored copper engraving, published in the famous series,Over de Voortteeling en Wonderbaerlyke veranderingen der Surinaemsche Insecten'. Maria Sibylla Merian (2 April 1647 13 January 1717) was a German-born naturalist and scientific illustrator, a descendant of the Frankfurt branch of the Swiss Merian family, founders of one of Europe's largest publishing houses in the 17th century.Merian received her artistic training from her stepfather, Jacob Marrel, a student of the still life painter Georg Flegel. She remained in Frankfurt until 1670, relocating subsequently to Nuremberg, Wieuwerd (1685), where she stayed in a Labadist community till 1691, and Amsterdam.Merian published her first book of natural illustrations, titled Neues Blumenbuch, in 1675 at age 28. In 1699, following eight years of painting and studying, and on the encouragement of Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijck, the then-governor of the Dutch colony of Surinam, the city of Amsterdam awarded Merian a grant to travel to South America with her daughter Dorothea. Her trip, designed as a scientific expedition makes Merian perhaps the first person to "plan a journey rooted solely in science." After two years there, malaria forced her to return to Europe. She then proceeded to publish her major work, Metamorphosis insectorum Surinamensium(de), in 1705, for which she became famous. Because of her careful observations and documentation of the metamorphosis of the butterfly, she is considered by David Attenborough to be among the most significant contributors to the field of entomology. She was a leading entomologist of her time and she discovered many new facts about insect life through her studies.
