Since the binding is not contemporary, and there may be traces of a missing preliminary leaf, the identification of this particular issue remains somewhat uncertain "Made-up copies of the Exposition occur far more frequently than ideal copies" --Lisney, page 171 All illustrations are hand-colored, except the plate with the anatomical diagrams which is uncolored The frontispiece shows a variety of creatures approaching a statue of a goddess (probably Ceres) in a wooded landscape This issue lacks the color wheel chart mentioned on the title page that was published in the 1st edition; the written description of colors occurs on pages iv-viii of the preface Signatures: [A]¹ B-2T² 2U² [chi]1 "The text sheets were reissued in 1781; the 1782 edition is reset"--English short title catalogue This 1782 edition was subsequently reissued by B. White and J. Edwards in 1786. That re-issue has the addition of a letterpress title page in French, with title: Exposition des insectes que se trouvent en Angleterre ..
