First Edition, limited to 1750 copies. This deluxe edition reproduces for the first and only time the original Merian watercolours collected by Tsar Peter the Great and now reside at the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg.
Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) journeyed with her daughter Dorothea in 1699 to Surinam in South America, where they remained for two years during which time she executed a number of these breath-taking watercolours. Merian became one of the most celebrated woman artists of her time; her drawings of flowers, butterflies and various insects practically defined the genre and remain without equal.
Each of the superb colourplates in this facsimile is described in detail, with size, medium, pressmarks, and a description of the contents. A very special production with impresssive colour lithographic facsimilies of her original flower and natural history watercolours. As new.

- View of Castle of Vianen, Batestein, Dutch Golden Age, Schouman, Old Master ArtBy Aert SchoumanLocated in Greven, DEThough he is most celebrated today for his extraordinary work as an artist of ornithological and zoological subject matters, Schouman was also a prolific documenter of landscape in his native Holland. The present drawing, which depicts a view of the Castel of Vianen, fits securely into a corpus of drawings Schouman produced on the same scale and in the same distinctive combination of media, examples of which are today housed in the collection of the Koninklijk Zeeuwsch Genootschap der Wetenschappen, Middelburg. Castle Batestein (also called Batenstein ) is a castle disappeared from the Netherlands . It was built on the banks of the Lek in the small town of Vianen, then in the province of South Holland (now in the province of Utrecht ). The castle was burned down in 1696 and then demolished. Remains only the Hofpoort (or castle gate...Category
