Marmora et adfines aliquos lapides...Abbildungen der Marmor-Arten und einiger verwandten Steine nach der Natur auf das sorgfältigste mit Farben erleuchtet, gestochen und herausgegeben... Mit 180 Marmorarten auf 30 (v. 98) handkolorierten Kupferstichen. Nürnberg, Selbstverl., 1775. 4°., 38 S. Fol. Hldr. d. Zt. mit Kammmarmorpapier (berieben und beschabt).
Landwehr 1., Sinkankas, 7281-7282. - Erste Ausgabe. - Text in Latein und Deutsch. - Bedeutendes minerarologisches Werk mit sehr dekorativen Tafeln. Sinkansas: Very little is known about the author of this splendid work aside from that he gives in his title. It is depicting an almost infinitely-varied series of marbles and allied ornamental stones from deposits in Germany and nearby countries. Presumably each of the rectangular panels represents the appearance of a polished slab, with most plates depicting six such pieces, but others two, four, and as many as nine, while one is immediately captivated by the richness and depth of the watercoloring, often heightened by the application of opaque white for veinlets, it can be seen that under each painting lies a complex, lightly-incised network of lines, almost like rouletting, over which the colors have been laid. - Wenige Textseiten minimal gebräunt, ansonsten schönes und breitrandiges Exemplar.
With 180 varities of species of marbles on 30 (of 98) handcoloured engravings. First edition With beautiful specimens of the Bayreutische, Würtembergische, Neresheimische Marmor. With Ex-Libris. A few text pages slightly browned without touching any plates, however. Altogether fine and broadmargined copy.
