Original Antique Stipple Engraved Shell Prints;Hand Colored:Kiener; Paris, 1834

Description: This pair of rare, first edition engravings is from Louis-Charles Kiener's Species général et iconographie des coquilles vivantes. The work was published in Paris in 1834 by Rousseau, Bailliere. This was at the time that lithography was becoming the popular mode of publication, but Kiener chose to use stipple engraving with original hand-coloring for each work in the collection. It was an expansive work on conchology that classified the shells according to the systems of Cuvier and Lamarck. Kiener used the famous Delessert collection in conjunction with the specimens in the Natural History Museum of Paris to illustrate his work.
