The margins of some sheets have been treated and stabilized, sometimes without completely erasing the damage they had suffered. The structure is now perfectly healthy and solid and is ready for a few centuries. The book is entirely monochrome and has never been colored, we did not want to do a modern color by ethical choice. Just like Buffon, Audubon or Redouté, Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) marked natural history with his art. Born in Frankfurt, the German artist put her incredible talent for drawing at the service of very detailed naturalistic observations. Long overlooked, Maria Sibylla Merian was later rediscovered and is now considered a major artist; Germany thus paid homage to him in the 20the century by affixing his portrait on the last banknotes in Deutsch Mark.
