Albertus Seba, Cabinet of Natural Curiosities
Taschen
This volume faithfully reproduces the plates from the renowned 'Thesaurus' of Albertus Seba (1665-1736), a Dutch pharmacist and naturalist who spent decades collecting animals, exotic plants, snakes, insects, and shells in a monumental 'cabinet of curiosities'. Published by Taschen, the book pays tribute to the tradition of the Wunderkammer and offers a visually captivating journey through richly illustrated and meticulously detailed images-suspended between scientific precision and baroque aesthetics.
Hardcover cloth-bound edition, over 580 large-format pages (approx. 25 x 37 cm), lavishly illustrated.
