Scarce four-volume set of the plate volumes to Felix-Edouard Guérin-Méneville's Iconographie du règne animal de G. Cuvier, (Iconography of the Animal Kingdom by G. Cuvier). Lacking the text volume as often.Total of 440 (of 448) handcoloured copperplate engravings and two engraved portraits of Cuvier and Latreille (lacking the portrait of Guerin)
The plates were printed and hand-coloured by Remond, engraved by Jean-Dominique-Étienne Canu and Eugene Giraud after illustrations by Edouard Travies, Felix-Edouard Guérin-Méneville and Louis Victor Bévalet

Description:
London : Printed for the Author and for F C and J Rivington, 1806 A fair set of the final 6 volumes of Edward Donovan's beautiful work, with 216 hand coloured plates. Donovan issued the first 10 volumes in parts between 1792 and 1801. He viewed the work as finished, issuing a new title, contents pages and advert. He decided to restart the work issuing Vol XI 5 years later and completing Vol XVI in 1813. This set is in largely contemporary full leather bindings with raised bands, gilt decorative compartments, title and volume labels to spine. The boards have a delicate scroll-type decoration around the edges. All the volumes have wear to corners and edges and have varying degrees of wear to spine joints and ends. Board surfaces have some scuffing. Marbled endpapers. All volumes are complete, with 36 plates per volume. The work was issued in parts over time, so the paper quality varies with some being brown-toned or spotty. Vol XI: front hinge rebacked and spine relaid. 1806; with title; advert pp…
