A Rare, 19th-Century Manuscript Chronicles the Quest of an Amateur Naturalist

I enjoyed reading this.

 

 

Treasures abide in many corners of a natural-history museum and there are many such treasures in the museum’s rare book collection. As the library’s acquisitions officer and a book lover, I’m privileged to handle these books as part of my job, and I often regret that more people aren’t able to see and appreciate them.

It is fantastic to see such records that were taken in the past (in this case the insects) and in such detail too, my art pales when compared to such dedicated records.
