EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning title page with intricately detailed vignette is taken from the third volume of "Deliciae Naturae Selectae," also known as "Auserlesenes Naturalien Cabinet," published by Georg Wolfgang Knorr in Nuremberg in 1771. The work was produced by Blusse and Son and features exquisite hand-colored copperplate engravings, showcasing a diverse array of natural wonders. The title page presents a captivating scene of Tritons, mythical sea deities, frolicking amongst corals, shells, and sea urchins. The vignette is encircled by a lively border of reptiles and birds, adding to the overall allure of this zoological illustration. The calligraphy is meticulously crafted, with the Latin title "Deliciae Naturae Selectae" gracefully adorning the top, while the German title "Auserlesenes Naturalien Cabinet" is elegantly inscribed below. This title page is a testament to the richness and diversity of the Wunderkammer, or Cabinet of Curiosities, owned by Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew in Nuremberg during the 18th century. The Deliciae Naturae Selectae was a significant contribution to the scientific community, providing a visual record of various natural specimens, both real and mythical, for scholarly study and appreciation. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this hand-colored copperplate engraving continue to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the natural world as it was perceived during the Age of Enlightenment.
