Leeuwenhoeks werken

Leeuwenhoek, Antoni van, 1632-1723 · 1684 · 30 pictures

Leeuwenhoek's Werken is a 1684 Dutch collection of microscopical observations by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the Delft draper and microscopist, written for fellow naturalists and scholars. Its pages are engraved plates of magnified plant and animal structures, labelled fig. 1 to fig. 10 with letters keyed to the drawings, showing cell walls, fibres, vessels and tissues as fine hatched linework that a designer could borrow for botanical or scientific patterns.
