Iconographie des chenilles, pour servir suite à l’ouvrage intitulé: Histoire naturelle des lépidoptères, ou papillons de France, par M. J.-B Godart. Tome Premier. Diurnes.
1871 (new edition) Livraisons 1-10. 160 (including title-page) p., 23 hand-coloured plates, loose and uncut (!) in original printed wrappers (first wrapper chipped). A new edition of this book of which the first appeared in 1832-1842 [and a later edition of 1849]. First 10 installments of a total of 31 (if identically published as first edition). The beautiful 23 plates here offered are very clean and well coloured. No information is to be found on this 1871 edition (not in Nissen, not in Cat. of Book BMNH, not on internet). As Duponchel died in 1846 this edition (by Deyrolle Fils, Paris) was carried out by Achille Guénée (1809-1880). It should be complete with 93 plates, as there is no information on this edition it is not known if the work was ever finished.
