Johann Ellis ... Versuch einer Natur-Geschichte der Corall-Arten und anderer dergleichen Mer-Cörper, welche gemeiniglich an den Küsten von Gross-Britannien und Irrland gefunden werden : nebst der Beschreibung eines grossen Büschel-Polypen, welcher in dem Eis-Mere gefangen worden
This 1767 German translation of John Ellis's natural history of corals and similar sea bodies found on the coasts of Britain and Ireland was published in Nuremberg by Gabriel Nikolaus Raspe for naturalists and collectors. Its engraved plates show marine specimens drawn in fine line with numbered details and lettered callouts, offering a designer clean botanical-style diagrams of branching, tufted and encrusting forms for patterns, textures and scientific-style layouts.
