First edition of the scarce first volume of this classic work on Lepidoptera, a work which Landwehr named ""The most important work on Dutch lepidoptera"". ""[The] First series started by Christiaan Andreas Sepp together with his son Jan Christiaan (1739-1811) published in issues and in the format after the model chosen by Roesel von Rosenhof"" Sepp followed his own path for the descriptions of butterflies and their illustrations. It has become the most important work on Dutch lepidoptera."" (Landwehr).Sepp was working from his own collection of preserved butterflies and insects, and both wrote and illustrated the work, using his own collection of preserved butterflies, caterpillars and chrysalides. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful works on butterflies to be produced.BMC(NH) IV, p. 1902. - Horn & Schenkling, p.1115. - Nissen, ZBI 3808. - Landwehr,182.
