| Item Description: | With an additional title page, engraved, "Francisci Willoughby Icthyographia ... Sumptibus Societatis Regalis Londinensis, 1685", signed "Paul van Somer jnuent et fecit Londini". This is often placed as a title page to the plates when they are bound following the text or in a separate volume. "Appendix ad historiam naturalem piscium" (caption title) has separate pagination and register. "Index piscium in Ithyographia Willughbeiana ... curâ Cromwelli Mortimeri ..." (caption title) has separate register (a-c², signatures in square brackets) and colophon "Londini: prostant venales apud Carolum Davis ... & Thomam Woodward ... Regalis Societatis typographos. M.DCC.XL." Sequences of plates occur printed on rectos and versos both (state 1) or on rectos only (state 2). State 1 plates may include eight blank leaves. The four plates numbered "Appendicis tab. 5[-8]" may have fish identifications provided with pasted-on letterpress-printed slips (state a) or as names engraved in the plates with the images (state b). State b presumably constitutes a separate printing of the plates. Includes errata leaf and indexes.
