Old Book

Ah, the bliss of a beautiful book -- this Nature Atlas of America, from ages ago. I shall admire it, page by careful page, over time. Behold, a mere sampling of all that is wonderful of this book:

The cover.

The face plate.

Minerals.

Trees.

Birds.

Fish.

Amphibians and reptiles.

Insects.

And mammals. 

Isn't it wonderful? Lovely.
