Cassel, Theodor Fischer, 1858-1878. 4to (29.1 x 22.0 cm). [i], 144 pp.; 45 originally hand-coloured lithographed plates. Red buckram with gilt title on the spine. = This is Volume I of a rare and well-illustrated series, written by the German malacologist Wilhelm Bernard Rudolph [or Rudolf] Hadrian Dunker (1809-1885). It took twenty years to complete this volume. A second volume was started while this one was not finished, but never completed. The present volume deals mainly with Fasciolariidae, Mitroidea, Muricoidea, Arcoidea, and Veneroidea, but includes also cowries, pectinids, tonnids, and more. Bound in: Richard Johnson's four-page collation of the work, published in J. Soc. Bibl. Nat. Hist. (1965). Johnson added the missing title page in a loose photocopy. In his collation he mentions a three-page preface, but that is inaccurate: there is only a single printed leaf, with the preface in both French and German on the same page. It is included. Scattered, mostly light foxing; one text leaf with an old, marginal repair; otherwise very good, clean. This series is much rarer than its sister series, Novitates conchologicae extramarina, edited by Louis Pfeiffer, as reflected by the much lower number of auction records. Nissen ZBI, 4724.…

Stuttgart, E. Schweizerbart, 1861. Large 4to (32.0 x 25.5 cm) [Board size 32.5 x 26.0 cm] 36 pp.; three finely hand-coloured lithographed plates with explanatory text leaves. Original printed boards. = A rarely seen copy in original printed boards of a very early work on Japanese shells, published only seven years after the opening of Japan to the West. The vast majority of the species described, therefore, were new and validly named by Dunker. Wilhelm Bernard Rudolph [or Rudolf] Hadrian Dunker (1809-1885) was geology professor at the University of Marburg, and founder of Palaeontographica, the most important palaeontographical periodical of the 19th century. He was "one of the most important malacologists of his time" (Wikipedia). He was usually known as Wilhelm, a name sometimes Latinized to Guilielmo, as on the title page of this work. Provenance: small stamp of the American malacologist Richard Irwin Johnson (1925-2020) in the top margin of the front free endpaper recto and title. Boards rubbed and bumped at extremities. Stamp of the Parisian publisher and book dealer Paul Klincksieck on the front board. First explanatory leaf with a small hole, not affecting the text; the explanatory text leaves a bit toned, but the other text pages and plates quite clean. A very good copy. Nissen ZBI, 1208.…

Casselis Cattorum [Kassel], Theodor Fischer, 1882. 4to (27.3 x 22.1 cm). vii, 301 pp.; 16 exquise lithographed plates of which 13 superbly hand-coloured. Near contemporary grained blue half cloth over grained burgundy cloth. Script title on the spine. = Rare, rather early, and extremely well-illustrated work on Japanese Mollusca, which includes new species. Wilhelm Bernard Rudolph [or Rudolf] Hadrian Dunker (1809-1885) was geology professor at the University of Marburg, and founder of Palaeontographica, the most important palaeontographical periodical of the 19th century. He was one of the most important malacologists of his time (Wikipedia). He was usually known as Wilhelm, a name sometimes Latinized to Guilielmo, as on the title page of this work. The plates are of great accuracy and beauty. Their quality was not reached again until more than 50 years later when the Japanese started to publish their own full colour shell books, printed in 6 to 12 colours. Light shelf-wear. All text pages and plates clean, which is highly unusual. Nissen ZBI, 1208.…
