Micrographia, or, Some physiological descriptions of minute bodies made by magnifying glasses : with observations and inquiries thereupon
Micrographia is a 1665 London book by Robert Hooke, printed for the Royal Society, presenting microscope observations of minute bodies to natural philosophers and the curious. Its copperplate engravings show magnified insects and a lemon-like fruit drawn with fine hatching, offering designers a model for scientific illustration, tonal shading and detailed pen-and-ink line.
