Description
The early Royal Society was much concerned with engraving and printing – both as a technical discipline and a practical tool for illustration and publication – yet we seem to know little about the artists involved, not least with the most enduring images of the Society’s early work, the plates from Hooke’s ‘Micrographia’.
