Albertus Seba - Cabinet of Natural Curiosities (Taschen)
Henry Horenstein - Aquatics (Stewart, Tabori & Chang)
Glazed stares from bleached specimens suspended in turbid fluid.
Weathered shells, meticulously aligned in arithmetic patterns.
A dragon's claw. The scales of a mermaid.
Terrifying wonders from distant dominions.
Creation on a shelf.
