Leeuwenhoeks werken
Leeuwenhoek's Werken, a 1684 Antwerp natural history volume printed at the Plantin office, is a collection of microscopical observations by the Dutch microscopist Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, addressed to scholars and natural philosophers. The four pictures are lettered copperplate diagrams of a mussel shell, a ringed cross-section, a fan-shaped segment and a radiating disc, with fine parallel and stippled hatching that suggests a precise scientific schematic style useful for technical line work and labelled diagrams.
