Albertus Seba's catalog of natural specimens is not only one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements but also one of the most prized natural history books of all time. Inspired from a rare hand-colored original, this collection gathers all his extraordinary illustrations of strange and exotic plants, snakes, corals, as well as "double-headed monsters", dragons, and many more.
