Item Description
Set of four beautifully engraved Nicolai Gualtieri corals.
From Gualtieri's work 'Index Testarum Conchyliorum, quuae adservantur in Museo Nicolai Gualtieri'.
Gualtieri was an Italian medical doctor and a professor at the University of Pisa with a great interest in shells and corals.
Together with Giuseppe Menabuoni (1708-1745) and Antonio Pazzi (1706-1768) he created his 'Index' with 110 beautifully engraved copper engravings, based on his own collection which is now in Museo Storia Naturale di Pisa.
Presented in silvered frames with hessian mounts and AR70 Artglass for optimal clarity.
