"This book discusses drawings and paintings made by men of science to illustrate either their own scientific work or that of other men of science. It deals chiefly with illustrations from works on botany, zoology, and human and comparative anatomy, these being sciences in which graphic illustration is chiefly required. They are divided into descriptive, imaginative, and interpretive illustrations and are considered in the light of artistic and printing techniques available when they were made."--front flap Table of Contents: 1.
