Turban Shells (1755) TURBAN SHELLS (Turbinidae). Hand-coloured engraving by N.G. Geve, pl. 21 from his Monatliche Belustigung im Reiche der Natur, an Conch ylien und Seegewdchsen,

Nicolaus Georg Geve, a Hamburg artist, is not in the front rank of those who have advanced conchology but he has a small claim to distinction: he produced the first shell book issued with hand-coloured plates. This book, which began to appear in monthly parts in 1755, has always been one of the great rarities of conchological literature. Its impact on the science was negligible, however, as publication ceased after only 120 pages and thirty-three plates had been issued. The illustrations on this plate are mostly of turban shells, common shells generally found about coral reefs in tropical waters. Geve showed here how colour and pattern vary from one example to another. Few species are more variable in these respects than some of the turban shells and none more so than the Tapestry Turban, Turbo petholatus, from the central and western Pacific (the larger shells on this plate). If Geve had shown such variations throughout the shell world, as seems to have been his intention, his book would have extended to several volumes and would have been a major contribution to conchology.
