Leeuwenhoeks werken

Leeuwenhoek, Antoni van, 1632-1723 · 1684 · 33 pictures

Leeuwenhoek's Dutch collected works from 1684 by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the Delft microscopist, containing his natural history observations. The plates are lettered engravings of microscopic and anatomical specimens, with fig-numbered diagrams keyed to labels A through T. A designer could take their precise hatching, shading by fine parallel lines, and tidy lettered callouts as models for scientific diagram layouts.
