Hardcover. Etat : New. Hooke, R. (illustrateur). 1st Edition. A new copy in the Folio Society eco-wrapping as received directly from the publisher. Stock images used. A groundbreaking study in a stunning edition. Quarter-bound in blocked cloth, with printed paper sides. Printed on Abbey Pure paper. 392 pages. 32 black & white illustrations, including 5 foldouts. Printed and blocked endpapers. Plain slipcase with die-cut circle. Printed and bound in Germany. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Hooke's seminal work on microscopy, the study of objects through magnifying lenses and microscopes, presented previously unseen worlds to his readers. His fascinating observations and beautiful descriptions of what he saw changed the way we view the natural world, making this one of the most important books in the history of science. In this beautifully crafted Folio Society edition, the entire text of 1665 is accompanied by the breathtakingly detailed illustrations, including five stunning foldouts, that are the source of the book's enduring fame. Hooke's magnificent and extraordinarily detailed illustrations of insects and plants have been reproduced for this edition from copies of the first and second editions of 'Micrographia' held at the Bodleian Library and the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford. One of the most celebrated of these images, the extraordinarily accurate depiction of a grey drone-fly, forms the basis of the beautiful blocked endpapers. The edition also includes two important texts which elucidate 'Micrographia' and provide different perspectives of its author. The English antiquary, natural philosopher and writer, John Aubrey, was a close friend of Hooke's and he paints an affectionate portrait of 'a person of great virtue and goodness', voracious for knowledge from the earliest age. Aubrey's 'Life' is preceded by a commissioned essay on Hooke's career and achievements, and the enduring importance of 'Micrographia', by historian and literary critic, Ruth Scurr. HEAVY/OVERSIZE. U.K. orders at default charge but overseas buyers may be asked for a little extra. Enquiries welcome. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured.
