Liger Rustic House Bees Beekeeping Hunting Wine Cuisine Rustique Falconry
Louis Liger was a prominent 17th-century French writer known
for his works on flora and fauna. He is chiefly remembered for his major work ‘Nouvelle Maison Rustique,’ or ‘The New Rustic House.’ Originally titled
‘General Economics of Country Goods,’
this work went through dozens of editions and reissues following its initial
release in 1700. This work covers all aspects of rural life in an encyclopedic
form including hunting, gardening, fishing, falconry, wine making, beer
brewing, cooking, and bee keeping.
This two-volume 1775 edition is filled with fascinating full-page and
folding plates alongside in-text woodcut engravings.
