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.
比较18世纪和19世纪的“科学绘画”, 作为个人兴趣而言18世纪这种主观糅合客观的半真半假的东西其实更引人入胜。 仿佛观看在“科学”真的来临之前,自然的神秘还足够包裹人类的想象和无知的时候,一场为了庆祝科学的到来的假装冷静的诗意的狂欢。 这种时候就会更坚信人类这个几乎一无是处的物种完全是因为拥有高于生存需求的繁盛的好奇心和幻想力才变得可爱。
