A suite of 39 engravings by Justus Sadeler after Hoefnagel's 'Archetypa'.

Each plate is illustrated with insects, small animals, flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc, most with captions in Latin.

Sadeler copies Hoefnagel, but with important changes. Many of the plates have slight alterations, some adding or replacing small animals. The lettering is different and there are several spelling errors. It also contains fewer plates than Hoefnagel's Archetypa, which consists of 4 parts with 52 engravings. It is unknown if Sadeler's suite of plates ever contained the same number of plates as Hoefnagel's work. This copy lacks plates based on the Archetypa's frontispiece title and plates 4, 6, and 12 of pars I; the frontispiece title and plates 2, 4-6, and 12 of pars III; or the frontispiece title and plates 1 and 8 of pars IV.
