Set of three original antique prints of small insects / beetles. These prints, most likely, originate from an edition of the scarce work 'Catalogus Systematicus Coleopterorum. Catalogue systèmatique des coleotères. Systematische Naamlijst van dat geslacht van Insecten, dat men Torren noemt' by Johan Eusebius Voet.

Johannes Eusebius Voet (24 January 1706 in Dordrecht, 28 September 1778 in The Hague) was a Dutch physician, poet, illustrator, and entomologist. Johannes was the son of Carel Burchat Voet (1671-1745) who was court-painter to the Earl of Portland and also an entomologist.
