Dr. Sulzers Abgekürtze Geschichte der Insecten. Nach dem Linaeischen System / [Johann Heinrich Sulzer].

Johann Heinrich Sulzer, Carl Linnaeus · 1776 · Winterthur : Bey H. Steiner ..., 1776. · 56 pictures

Johann Heinrich Sulzer's abridged history of insects, arranged by Linnaeus's system and published at Winterthur by H. Steiner in 1776 for naturalists and collectors. Hand-coloured engraved plates scatter numbered specimens across bare paper — beetles, wasps, crickets, grasshoppers, a mantis, larvae and a fruiting twig — giving isolated, cut-out-ready silhouettes with fine wing venation and saturated shell colour.
