PATTERN BOOK.:[PAYNE, JOHN, engraver. 1607-1647.] Animalium quadrupedum, auium, florum, fructuum, muscarum et vermium omnis generis verae delineationes.... [London]: Roger Daniel, c.1630.
Oblong folio (290 x 183 mm). Engraved title page and 19 engraved plates. Modern brown morocco antique. Covers slightly warped, plates and engraved title trimmed to image borders and laid down on old laid paper, some with partial hand-coloring, a few chips and tears into image areas, light spotting and toning.

Though the plates are not signed by Payne, this appears to be a later edition of Payne\'s Flora, published by Roger Daniel under the dual Latin and English titles \"Animalium quadrupedum, auium, florum, fructuum, muscarum et vermium omnis generis verae delineationes in æes incisae. mdah; A booke of beast, birds, flowers, fruits, flies, and wormes, exactly drawne with their liuely colours truly described.\" This edition formed the basis for Roger Walton\'s pattern book A View of the Creation (1666), which copies the plates from this edition very closely. Payne studied engraving under the Dutch masters William and Simon van de Passe, and his flowers are copied from Crispijn van de Passe\'s Altera Pars (1603-1605). The animals are derived from Joris Hoefnagel\'s Archetypa studaque (1592).

图案书。 四足动物、海葵、花、水果、芥末和各种属的蠕虫都是真正的描绘。[伦敦]：罗杰·丹尼尔，约1630年。
