Jan Christiaan Sepp - Beschouwing der wonderen Gods, in de minst geachte schepzelen. Of Nederlandsche Insecten, naar hunne aanmerkelijke huishouding, verwonderlijke gedaantewisseling en andere wetenswaardige bijzonderheden

            "Contemplation on the miracles of the Lord in the least honorable creatures. Or Dutch insects. By their particular lifestyle, astonishing transformation and other interesting curiosities" (Dutch title translated). First edition. 1762-1860. First two parts (of eight). One of the finest works on butterflies and moths ever published. Cobres I, 381: "Ein Werk ohne seines gleiches, in der ungemein sauberen Ausführung, daher höchst schätzbar'.; " ... eines der prächtigsten Abbildungswerke der Lepidopterologie ..." (W. Junk). Its really marvellously executed plates are the culminating point of entomological illustration. Complete copies are of great rarity. The publication of this work which according to Nissen probably started as early as 1728, stopped two hundred years later, when in 1928 the author of the third series, A. Brants, deceased after having completed only the first ten parts of the first volume. The famous publishing house Sepp & Zoon, was a firm which excercised the utmost care in producing colour-plate books of outstanding quality. In the present case Sepp was the author as well as the publisher. "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 182).
