We are pleased to present a selection of prints from Conchyliologie ober Ubbandlung von den Schnecten, Muscheln by Dezallier d'Argenville, published in Vienna 1772.

Desallier d'Argenville was an advisor to King Louis XV and his work La Conchyliologie gained enormous popularity. He coined the word conchyliologie, or Conchology. The present edition is rare in that it is a much larger size than usual, with beautifully strong engraving.

The shells are arranged in unusually dynamic patterns making these 243 year old shells seem quite modern. The condition of the plates is excellent, on thick, high quality chain lined paper. Each print is folio size, measuring approximately 9 ½ inches by 15 inches. There is no descriptive text or title page as these prints were bought as a collection of prints. The photos are very accurate, so please review carefully. All our prints are authentic antique prints and guaranteed to be from the date stated. These prints are almost 250 years old.

There is no descriptive text but a copy of the superbly decorative title page by the French artist Boucher will be provided. We accept credit cards & PayPal.
