#FridayFlea, anyone? This is the splendid flea from Robert Hooke's Micrographia, one of the most famous images from his book on microscopes and the observations he made with them. Micrographia introduced people to the idea of an invisible, microscopic world for the first time, and it was profoundly influential in both science and culture. We got this out for a class on science and society yesterday, and of course we had to take a photo to share. ⠀ ⠀ Rare Vault QH271 .H79 1667 ⠀ ⠀ #flea #hooke #micrographia #microscopic #histsci #histsciart #sciart #art #history #illustration #rarebooks #universityofmissouri #mizzou #ellislibrary (at Ellis Library)
