Translated as "The Macrolepidoptera of the World" this work was published in three language editions, German, English, & French is renowned for its outstanding color plates, some of which required printing from up to 14 different color blocks (including metallic inks), resulting in quality of color printing so excellent that it has remained unsurpassed. But this meticulous chromolithographic printing was incredibly expensive and labor intensive. The project was hugely ambitious - to cover every known species of the World's Macrolepidoptera, - has started in 1904 but it was plagued by setbacks including two World Wars and was never finished, after almost 50 years the project finally came to an end in 1954.
