The Dutch merchant, Levinus Vincent and his wife Joanna van Breda collected a large amount of naturalia and manmade curiosities in the late seventeenth century, eventually becoming one of eighteenth-century Holland’s most significant collections. The collection was publicly accessible in Amsterdam from 1698 to 1706 and consisted of fossils, insects, birds, minerals and more as well as drawings, books and numerous objects brought to the Netherlands through colonial trade. This book’s detailed depiction and inventory, is important resource for understanding the form, content, and purpose of such collections around the turn of the eighteenth century.
