This is a lovely late 19th century notebook of drawings, done for biology class I presume, by a young Eva Ferguson was very very meticulous in her work!  Sixteen pages of drawings, most with thin tissue paper separating them, detailing everything from the microbial structure of an amoeba, to the ray of a starfish in cross-section, to a ruminant stomach (mammalian), to the exterior of a crustacean, to various leaf structures. All very precisely rendered and labeled, and I must say imparting a real sense of wonder at the structures of living things!

8 1/2" x 11. 15 graphite drawings total, done on both fronts and backs, with tissue paper in between and some blank pages at the end. Very good antique condition, with nary a tear or smudge or spot, well bound, crisp and clean.
