About this product
Product Information
Martin Lister, royal physician and fellow of the Royal Society, was an extraordinarily prolific natural historian with an expertise in shells and molluscs. Disappointed with the work of established artists, Lister decided to teach his daughters, Susanna and Anna, how to illustrate the specimens he studied. The sisters became so skilled at this that Lister entrusted them with his great work, 'Historiae Conchyliorum', assembled between 1685 and 1692. This first comprehensive study of conchology consisted of over 1,000 copperplates of shells and molluscs collected from around the world. 'Martin Lister and his Remarkable Daughters' reconstructs the creation of this masterwork, from the identification of the original shells to the drawings themselves, and from the engraved copperplates to the draft prints and final books. Susanna and Anna portrayed the shells not only as curious and beautiful objects, but also as specimens of natural history rendered with sensitivity and keen scientific empiricism. Beautiful in their own right, these illustrations and engravings reveal the early techniques behind scientific illustration together with the often unnoticed role of women in the scientific revolution.

Seller sent my book with a completely different cover from the one advertised—which arrived slightly damaged from being sent in a flimsy plastic bag— I had to then explain to them how the picture of the book for sale, should be the book the buyer receives; that is the book they ordered and are expecting. The seller arranged a return, but after receiving the book back, made me wait for a long time, and send them several messages without reply, before eventually refunding me. Poor, unprofessional.

The seller sent a different edition to the one advertised in the photo. The edition they sent is the standard current one which I could’ve easily bought on the high street. The reason I placed the order was because it was an older, possibly out of print edition advertised.
I am extremely unhappy with this, and feel that the seller deliberately deceived buyers with this false representation.
