Description: Cushew Tree (Cashew), by Mark Catesby. Beautiful folio engraving from the 1777 publishing of Mark Catesby’s Natural History of the Carolinas, Florida and the Islands of the Bahamas. This magnificent early German / Latin edition was titled Piscium, Serpentum, Insectorum, aliorumque nonullorum Animalium. Nicholaus Friedrich Eisenberger and Georg Lichtensteiger issued the reprinting of volume two of Catesby's work in 1750. It was so popular that it led to a second edition in 1777 from which these prints come, published by Johann Joseph Fleischmann in Nuremberg. Unlike the Seligmann edition, which was issued in a smaller format, this printing is imperial folio. It is the same size as the first, second, and 1771 edition. The paper and coloring are more desirable in this printing when compared to the 1771 edition which was printed on Whatman woven paper (which had a tendency to brown and become brittle). The engravings for the 1777 edition were printing on chain-linked, J. Honig & Zoonen watermarked paper often featuring a fleurs-de-lis.
