The history of four-footed beasts and serpents.
A 1658 London natural history compiled from Gessner, Topsell, Moffett and Rowland, a Zoology volume issued by the publisher E. Cotes for the bookseller G. Sawbridge, aimed at naturalists and general readers. Its woodcut pictures show insects drawn in close, stiff detail with long antennae and jointed legs, cut as dense hatched lines on a plain ground, a model for bold linear insect studies.
