Catalogue of zoological supplies for sale / by C.J. Maynard.
A late nineteenth-century trade catalogue of zoological specimens for sale, compiled by Charles Johnson Maynard of West Newton, Massachusetts, in 1898 for naturalists, students and collectors. Its engravings are fine, dense pen-and-ink studies of microscopic and organic structures: radiating striations on a round form, branching tubular and fibrous growths, and a bilaterally symmetrical shell-like body with feathered lines a designer could borrow for botanical or textural patterns.
