- An exhaustive compendium of marble, Afbeelding der Marmor Soorten (A Representation of Marble Types) depicted 570 samples across 100 colour plates, accompanied by texts in five languages;
- Published in 1776 at the peak of the Enlightenment, it is regarded, rightly, as one of the finest illustrated scientific books of the era;
-Over the course of the 18th century, beautiful books that categorised, annotated, and illuminated the Enlightenment pursuit of learning across Europe had become increasingly popular;
- Knowledge was everything and everywhere, and these books provided it for those not wealthy enough to build their own personal collections of rare and exotic objects;
- Marmor Soorten, one such edition, took the standards of both aesthetics and categorisation to a whole new level;
-Jan Christiaan Sepp and his father Christian himself a respected collector had already earned a reputation for luxury publications on scientific themes, starting with Christians own Nederlandsche Insecten (Insects of the Netherlands);
- But it was his son who created the visual masterpiece Marmor Soorten, revising an existing German publication from 1775 by Adam Ludwig Wirsing;
- The result published in 11 instalments to a print run of around 100 was among the finest examples of its kind;
-Featuring new photography to depict the intricate details of the marble samples, this edition brings an unknown treasure back to relevance;
- The plates, each meticulously hand -coloured and arranged with painstaking precision, have an abstract -art feel that gives this volume an almost modern slant;
-This edition reproduces the pages from two copies of Marmor Soorten held at the State and University Library in Dresden and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles;
- Reprinting the work in full for the first time, The Book of Marble brings that rare blend of beauty and encyclopedic knowledge to a wider audience;
- Tipo de Encadernação: Capa Dura;
- Número de Páginas: 312.
