Of microscopes and the discoveries made thereby : illustrated with many copper-plates
Henry Baker's 1785 London treatise on microscopy, published by J. Dodsley, presents microscopic discoveries to general readers through engraved copper plates. The three pictures are engraved plates of tiny organisms, animalcules and crystal forms seen under the lens, rendered in fine hatched line with plain labelled figures that a designer could use for scientific, botanical or antique natural-history motifs.
