        Est: £5,000 - £7,000

        Marble.- Wirsing (Adam Ludwig) Marmora et adfines aliquos lapides coloribus suis exprimi...; Abbildungen der Marmor-Arten und einiger verwandten Steine nach der Natur auf das sorgfältigste mit Farben..., first edition, title and text in Latin and German, 68 fine hand-coloured engraved plates featuring 387 specimens of marble, occasional soiling or marginal staining to plates, light browning to text, contemporary half calf, rubbed, corners worn, rebacked, small folio, Nuremberg, 1775. ⁂ Good copy of the uncommon first edition with beautifully hand-coloured plates showing almost 400 numbered cross-sections of marble and other stones from quarries in western Europe, mainly Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Because the work was published in parts, the quantity of plates varies: Brunet calls for a maximum of 98 plates but not many copies contain more than 68, as here, and most considerably fewer. The work was reissued by Sepp the following year.
