Do you like old scans of insect illustrations?

… Oh, you do? Well do I have the thing for you!

If you decide to download them, I found the .jp2 zip to be much higher resolution than the PDF.

thanks again

Wow, his writing style is excellent! The chapter on the glow-worm is captivating - despite being about a glow-not-worm I just wish he had drawings of all of them instead of just a few!

Oh I do like old insect and plant illustrations. Might come in handy.

The Edward Lear images remind me that I wanted to engrave some of the images from my copy of the Codex Seraphinianus that I had totally forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder!
