S.l. ( Amsterdam ), s.d. ( ca. 1650 - 1660 ), suite of 102 engravings + title page, landscape format : 217 x 300 mm; leaf size :261 x 371 mm. (wide margins !). Bound in (probably) 18th c. full calf, both covers with blindtooled decoration, raised spine with leather title label. Marbled edges. With the printed ex-libris of Maurice de Smet de Naeyer and a small modern ex-libris of Carlo de Poortere ( gold-tooled leather). At the end are bound in the 6 engravings + title of the ''Vermis Sericus''. Two rare and complete suites of engravings bound in a very well preserved binding. The engavings without stains or tears; and with very large margins. [1] A suite of 104 hunting scenes, designed by Stradanus ( 1523 - 1605) was first published in Antwerp in 1578-1580 by Philippe Galle. (See Vanucci 693). The suite was at least twice re-issued by Joannes Galle (1600 - 1676) whereby the Christian name of ''Philip Galle'' is replaced by ''Ioan.''. The Amsterdam publisher Nicolaes Visscher (1618 - 1679) printed at least one of these re-issues. A member of the Visscher family was also involved in the auction sale of the plates from the stock of I.Galle (8 march 1677). In the re-issueing process, for an unknown reason, plates nr. 77 and 84 of the original series got lost or damaged beyond repair. They were replaced by plate 103 and 104 ; the last plates of the original series. Their original plate numbers were erased. So the Visscher series is complete with 102 plates. [2] Bound after the ''Venationes'' is the complete suite : title + 5 plates of '' Vermis Sericus''. (Vanucci 699). The first edition was from 1590 (Philip Galle). Here is a later edition with French text added to the Latin captions. Engraver is L. Renard. Both suites exceptionnally well preserved in an attractive binding.

Legatura in cartoncino rivestito con carta marmorizzata settecentesca. Il frontespizio e ciascuna tavola, in splendida tiratura, sono applicati su singoli fogli. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Le incisioni, da disegni dello Stradano, sono attribuite ai fratelli Wierix, mentre il frontespizio è ritenuto di Philip Galle (Mauquoy-Hendrickx, p. 404 citato da A. Baroni Vannucci, Ian van der Straet detto Giovanni Stradano, Jandi Sapi, 1997). Questa suite è certamente poco comune non essendo citata neppure dal Funck (Le livre belge a gravures) nell elenco delle suites dei fratelli Wierix che si incontrano più frequentemente (pag. 158). 8 tavv. incise su rame compreso il frontespizio ciascuna di cm. 19x13,5.
