Hi Mariok54 thank you for you replies. I have a question for you, if you had these volumes would you continue to try and find out information on it?

Do you think this could be worth something significant or likely only a few hundred dollars?

I know it's hard for you to determine that but what's you opinion on this? If you had this would you be willing to pay someone money to appraise it?

I know these volumes took massive amounts of time the frist one has about 100 hand painted/drawn pictures and the second one is twice as big with beautiful water color paintings and illustrations and it even has pictures of foregin places as if the person had traveled to these places.

Anyone have any information on this? Or does anyone know of somewhere I could go to? Like an appraiser, I live near San Diego. Or Does someone know how I could get that German translated it is so hard to read I tried using on line translators but the results were futile.

A friend who is really into antiques seems to think that this piece is extremely rare, so that's why I am curious.

The frist Volume which contains the writing in the begining is binded together, the second volume had some binded but has some pictures that were placed in there. They do not seem to have ever been binded into it though. here is more pictures from the frist volume.

I have two volumes of these the frist has writing on it as seen in the pictures it is all in german. The rest of it is hand illustrated drawings and detailed writings of different animals and insects and sea creatures. Does anyone have information on this I have more pictures but it only allows me to post 4. I took pictures of all the writing and they are readable so I can provide more of those if needed. Thank you guys so much for your help.
