Illuminated Manuscript detail of a mosquito and snail circa 1591

11/11/2014

I have never seen a more elegant mosquito in my life! And the gold script below is just amazing! It's a detail from a book from around 1591 about insects, Basil Thyme, and Land Snails (detail), Joris Hoefnagel, Georg Bocskay.
