Drawing of mould from Hookes Micrographia
Drawing of fruiting bodies of a " Small white Spot of hairy mould" growing on the cover of a book bound in sheepskin. The fruit bodies are shown in various stages of dehiscince (A-D). This figure appeared in a book called " Micrographia" written by the English physicist, Robert Hooke in 1665. He did not spot any spores, but remarked on how fragile the consitution of " thefe pretty bodies" was. The book contains some of the most beautiful drawings of microscope observations ever made. Hooke was born in 1635, his main accomplishments were in the fields of physics, where he studied the action of springs, and biology, where he was one of the most eminent microscopists

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing from Robert Hooke's renowned book, "Micrographia" published in 1665. The intricate illustration depicts the growth of a small white spot of hairy mold on the cover of a sheepskin-bound book. Each fruiting body is meticulously portrayed in various stages of dehiscence, labeled as A to D. Hooke, an English physicist and esteemed microscopist, marveled at the fragility of these delicate structures he referred to as "these pretty bodies". Although he didn't observe any spores within them, his observations shed light on their constitution and vulnerability. "Micrographia" stands as a testament to Hooke's exceptional talent for combining artistry with scientific inquiry. It contains some of the most exquisite drawings ever created based on microscope observations. This particular image exemplifies Hooke's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture natural phenomena with unparalleled precision. Born in 1635, Hooke made significant contributions not only in physics but also biology. His studies focused on springs' behavior in physics while establishing himself as one of history's eminent microscopists. Through his groundbreaking work, Hooke paved the way for advancements in microscopy techniques that continue to shape scientific exploration today. This extraordinary print from Science Photo Library celebrates both the historical significance and technical brilliance captured within this iconic drawing by Robert Hooke.
