“The Cabinet of Natural Curiosities is one of the most important natural history books of all time, with detailed illustrations on every item in his collection.

Seba's collection of scenic illustrations was one of the 18th century's greatest natural history achievements. Though scientists of his era often collected natural specimens for research purposes, the Amsterdam-based pharmacist's (1665-1736) collection of animals, plants and insects gained international fame during his lifetime. After decades of collecting, Seba commissioned illustrations of every specimen and arranged the publication of a four-volume catalogue – from strange plants to snakes, frogs, crocodiles, shellfish, corals, birds, and butterflies, as well as fantastic beasts, such as a hydra and a dragon

The full name of the Thesaurus is, with a dual Latin–Dutch title, Locupletissimi rerum naturalium thesauri accurata descriptio – Naaukeurige beschryving van het schatryke kabinet der voornaamste seldzaamheden der natuur
