Albertus Seba’s Cabinet of Natural Curiosities is one of the 18th century’s greatest natural history achievements and remains one of the most prized natural history books of all time.Though it was common for men of his profession to collect natural specimens for research purposes, Amsterdambased pharmacist Albertus Seba (1665–1736) had a passion that led him far beyond the call of duty. His amazing, unprecedented collection of animals, plants and insects from all around the world gained international fame during his lifetime. In 1731, after decades of collecting, Seba commissioned illustrations of each and every specimen and arranged the publication of a four-volume catalog detailing his entire collection—from strange and exotic plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, insects, butterflies and more, as well as fantastic beasts, such as a hydra and a dragon. Seba’s scenic illustrations, often mixing plants and animals in a single plate, were unusual even for the time. Many of the stranger and more peculiar creatures from Seba’s collection, some of which are now extinct, were as curious to those in Seba’s day as they are to us now.
This reproduction is taken from a rare, hand-colored original. The introduction offers background information about the fascinating tradition of the cabinet of curiosities to which Seba’s curiosities belonged.

评分比較18世紀和19世紀的“科學繪畫”， 作為個人興趣而言18世紀這種主觀糅閤客觀的半真半假的東西其實更引人入勝。 仿佛觀看在“科學”真的來臨之前，自然的神秘還足夠包裹人類的想象和無知的時候，一場為瞭慶祝科學的到來的假裝冷靜的詩意的狂歡。 這種時候就會更堅信人類這個幾乎一無是處的物種完全是因為擁有高於生存需求的繁盛的好奇心和幻想力纔變得可愛。
