Musaeum Regalis Societatis. Or a catalogue & description of the natural and artificial rarities belonging to the Royal Society ... Whereunto is subjoyned the comparative anatomy of stomachs and guts
A 1686 London catalogue by Nehemiah Grew of natural and artificial rarities held by the Royal Society, with comparative anatomy of stomachs and guts, aimed at natural philosophers and collectors. The plate shows a long horizontal layout of a crocodile skeleton labelled 'Skeleton of a Crocodile of Lancaster' with a fish skeleton, a snake, and a small skull, drawn in fine black line on aged paper, offering a designer a clear model for scientific specimen diagrams and vintage natural history layouts.
