An old book is open to a two-page spread featuring a wide array of sea monsters. Black and white woodcut.
Sea monsters from Munster's Cosmographia, mid-late 1500s. With a kind of steampunk-looking whale, a tree with duck fruits, and a hapless sailor tossed about by a giant lobster. #oldbooks #rarebooks #earlyprintedbooks
