This is an anthology of illustrations from the 17th and 18th centuries, when scientific illustrations were a necessity to the development of science, prior to the invention of photography.

The high quality vintage images are accompanied by informative text from biologist Carmen Soria and has been created in partnership with the National Museum of Natural History in Madrid, Spain.
