A woodcut peering out from a 16th century binding. It's been used as the pastedown on a 1596 Frankfurt printing of Aristotle's Physics, but we can't see enough of it to know what it's from #Printed #Fragments #Bindings

Gilbert White of Selborne in his garden with his beloved tortoise, Timothy. White began his journal, the Garden Kalendar, in 1751. The engraving is one of my favourites by the wonderful Eric Ravilious (London, Nonsuch Press, 1938).
