Commissioned by the King of Denmark, Franz Michael Regenfuss' famous illustrations of exotic seashells reflected and stimulated the great interest of 18th century Europeans in the arrival of elaborate specimens from increasingly distant shores. The exceptionally fine quality of drawing, engraving and coloring produces a distinctly three-dimensional impression.

This work is an intricately beautiful time machine that will provide years of conversation, contemplation and enjoyment.
