Just in time for spring I wanted to post about some beautiful zoological illustrations that came across our v-craddle scanner last week. These original watercolours are a part of four volume collection in the Blacker-Wood Illustrations collection and originally published between 1766-84. To see the rest of the volumes you can visit Rare Books and Special collection during their opening hours.
