This one comes from an 1870’s Botany book. It’s an Engraving of a Botanist’s Microscope! I love the Typography on this one. This would work well for your Steampunk Projects or maybe even Halloween, for a spooky Laboratory display!
Wow. The biology major in me really wants the actual microscope! But it doesn’t look that complicated, really, and the crafty side of me thinks it might be buildable. (It’s kind of crowded in my head sometimes….:-)
Beti, Funny! Glad this one has you thinking, either way!
