Come see works from our natural history rare book collection in the National Museum of Natural History. We’re celebrating the most diverse group of animals, insects, in our newest exhibition, Dazzling Diversity. It will be open through October 2018. Can’t make it? All of the books featured have been digitized and made available online in the @biodivlibrary Dazzling Diversity collection, with illustrations from each in this Flickr collection.
The animated ones above are from Papillons d’Europe, peints d’après nature, t.1 [Atlas] by J.J. Ernst.
