Our Pybus Collecion includes a copy of Robert Hooke's Micrographia, published in 1665. It was one of the first popular science books, and featured drawings of the microscopic world not seen before.

@17thCenturyLady @MuseumCromwell @jdmccafferty @cheapsellotape @KingCharlesIRTN @ElizStJohn @clairejowitt @KL_Clements Robert Hooke's book Micrographia was first published in 1664, containing drawings of the creatures he was able to observe through microscopes. It must have given people quite a shock!
Robert #Hooke's "Micrographia" (1665) was the first work to depict microscopic specimens, and includes his famous illustration of a flea. Hooke praised the "beauty" of this creature, with its "suit of sable Armour" and "sharp pinns...like Porcupine’s Quills." 🦔🔬 #ArchivesBugs
At @TheHuntington, “Seeing for Yourself” will look at how artists/scientists have made hidden worlds visible from the 1500s on. The show will feature items ranging from Robert Hooke's “Micrographia,” featuring etchings of minute objects, to depictions of viruses like COVID-19.

In 1665 Robert Hooke published his most famous work Micrographia (”Small Drawings”). In it he included his studies and illustrations of the crystal structure of snowflakes and first used the word cell to name the microscopic honeycomb cavities in cork.5/

This thread is a series of images in the #history of #scicomm documenting the shift in 17th century Europe from divine causation to empiricism (via observation, experiment, reasoning, & formation/testing of hypotheses & theories).
