Rarity: Extremely Rare and becoming hard to find.
Provenance: The present work shows Gualtieri's collection and is one of the most curious and beautiful books on shells ever published. Many of the shells are depicted standing on their apices, and are depicted from two sides, showing the complete surface. Both engraving and typography are exceptional. Gualtieri's collection is extant and can be found in the Museo storia naturale in Pisa.
Many of the images of his work were from his personal renowned collection of shells. Linnaeus used many of Gualtieri"s specimens for his "Systema Naturae"
