Highlights from the Natural History Collection
From the earliest, printed books have occupied themselves with the natural world. Woodcuts in the XVc and XVIc gave way to copperplate engravings and etchings, and these in turn were colored by hand. At their finest, natural history illustrations can teach us more about species than can individual specimens.

Highlights from our Collection of Maps and Atlases
It is no accident that the printed book in Europe and the Age of Exploration began at the same time. Building on Ptolemy, explorers and publishers sought perpetually to increase the scope and precision of maps of the world. Engraving, with its clear thin lines, proved to be the perfect medium for the dispersion of maps. Atlases, sometimes exquisitely colored, came to be the ultimate status-symbol for enlightened rulers and wealthy merchants. Maps, whether issued in atlases or separately, came to decorate walls, opening homes up to the world.
