A 1694 London catalogue of the Royal Society's natural and artificial curiosities kept at Gresham College, compiled by Nehemiah Grew for natural philosophers and collectors. Its plates are finely engraved copperplate views of fossils, shells, and comparative stomachs and guts of animals, drawn in precise tonal hatching that a designer could borrow for botanical or scientific diagrams with an antique, scholarly feel.
