Five engraved title pages, 280 (of which 3 folded) copperplate plates, 1 folded sheet and 1 text copperplate. Boards below places authored by Pailla, Desmoulins, Griffith in the performance of the highly acclaimed Irish engraver, Peter Mazell's science specialists (active 1761-1797). They are a faithful and at the same time very decorative depiction of species set in their landscape with a nominal description in the title of the engraving. Good contrasting prints, wide leaf edges, everything clean. The period light all-leather binding with 2 colored labels on the spine, their gilded description and gilded edges of the plates, as well as the book block, is in a very good condition.
