Seitz, [F. J.] A. - Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde. Eine systematische Bearbeitung der Gross-Schmetterlinge in Verbindung mit Namhaften Fachmännern herausgegeben von Prof. Dr. Adalbert Seitz.

Stuttgart, Alfred Kernen, 1932. 4to (33.0 x 25.5 cm). Two title pages (to the series, to the part); vii, 399, (iii) pp.; 16 chromolithographed plates. Publisher's pebbled half calf over linen boards; spine rich gilt with lepidopteral vignette, gilt ornamental bands and dark green morocco label with gilt title. Brown marbled endpapers. Plates bound in green grained soft cover with gilt title on the front cover; preserved in a green sleeve on the rear pastedown. = Single part of one of the largest and most beautifully illustrated works on butterflies and moths. Its fine plates were made using the process of 10-14 colour lithography, and its excellent quality has remained unsurpassed. The editor, Friedrich Joseph Adalbert Seitz (1860-1938), planned to finish the whole work in 1912. This proved to be quite unrealistic as publication stopped in 1954, and several volumes remained unfinished. The most important collections of butterflies were consulted including those of L. W. Rothschild of Tring, the British Museum, the Paris Natural History Museum, the Senckenberg Museum at Frankfurt, as well as collections in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Australia, South- and North America, etc. This supplement part to the Palaearctic butterflies contains numerous additions and corrections to the first volume of this seies, which was published between 1906-1909. A mint copy. Cat. BM(NH), p. 1895; Nissen ZBI, 3799N.
