This very rare copper engraving is from Martin Lister's work Historiae sive synopsis methodicae conchyliorum et tabulae anatomicarum. It was published in 1770 in Oxford by Clarendon Press. Lister's wife and daughter illustrated the prolific work. This is the second edition and is considered the most desireable amongst collectors due to the larger paper size and beautiful engravings. Lister was an English naturalist & physician. He originally published Historiae Conchyliorum between 1685 and 1692.
