December 9 – Drawings of jellyfish and sea anemones
Unable to pick just one of these beautiful illustrations, today we have a series of images from manuscripts in the D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson papers. The drawings of jelly fish and sea anemones are by Tilesius (1769-1857) who was a well respected scientist and engraver.
