Micrographia Nova, published in 1687 by Johann Franz Griendel, documents the then-fresh science of microscopy. BibliOdyssey has dozens of engravings from that, and other books of the era. If only modern gadgets were so handsome!

   Bibliodyssey

   I’m sure Rob’ll fix it in a second, but as I write this the link doesn’t seem to work and the site name is spelled wrong.
