'Monochrome' is the theme for this #weekend's #summer of colour tweet. Perfect for reminding everyone about the opening of Monkey Valley @ZSLLondonZoo, a new home for our black & white colobus. #Lithograph in ZSL's 1885 Proceedings, now @JZoology. #SciArt by Joseph Smit.

Another #weekend so time for more of our #Summer of Colour, this time featuring some of the amazing patterns found in nature. A few mammals from 'Histoire naturelle des mammifères...' by Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire & Cuvier, 1824-42.

#ThrowbackThursday to a series of #Postcards that were produced by ZSL which included interesting facts about each #animal #EphemeraNH #Ephemera

Ann found it difficult to select one book for #NationalBookLoversDay but decided on Maria Merian's 'Dissertation sur la génération et les transformations des insectes de Surinam...', our copy publ. 1726, it features wonderful engravings of insects, plants, reptiles & amphibians.

Our #Summer of colour continues with these #drawings by unknown artists.
The drawings are in a box labelled 'Kurachi fishes and crustaceans, etc.' circa 1845-1855.
