‎Edition originale de ce splendide ouvrage consacré aux insectes par l’entomologiste anglais John Curtis (1791-1862). Nissen ZBI 1000 ; Brunet, II, 447. L’ouvrage, publié sous forme de livraisons mensuelles par souscription de 1824 à 1839, est considéré comme l’un des meilleurs ouvrages d’entomologie du XIXe siècle. L’auteur précise dans la préface que "the plates of several of the early volumes for the greater part, and those of the last and a considerable part of the fifteenth were entirely my own engravings, and all the others were corrected and finished by myself: the drawings also are the effort of my pencil, and the articles and descriptions are my own writing; for any errors therefore I alone am accountable". Il poursuit en expliquant qu’en décembre 1839 les planches avaient "already cost upwards of £3000". "Cuvier pronounced British Entomology to be 'the paragon of perfection'" (ODNB). L’ouvrage est orné de 770 planches hors texte (planches 1 à 769 et une planche 205*) gravées d’après nature et finement coloriées à la main à l’époque. Elles montrent les espèces d’insectes que l’on trouvait au Royaume-Uni avec les différentes parties de leur anatomie détaillées dans des dessins au trait occupant souvent le bas des planches, et les insectes présentés dans leur milieu naturel sur des plantes ou des fleurs. Précieux exemplaire bien complet de l’ensemble de ses planches, conservé dans sa reliure de l’époque.‎
