Joannes Le Francq van Berkhey - Natuurlijke historie van Holland. Achtste deel: Rundvee - 1810

World-level standard work, perhaps qualitatively the earliest and most interesting
expenditure in this area.

"We wish that the Work may find many Readers; but we fear,
that the preciousness of the plates, in the present tense,
many people are curious, especially among farmers, about buying
will deter. The drawings are excellent"
(Fatherlandsche letter exercises. Volume 1811)
