HOOKE, Robert (1635-1703). Micrographia: or some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies made by Magnifying Glasses with observations and inquiries thereupon. London: by Jo. Martyn and Ja. Allestry, Printers to the Royal Society, 1665.
2° (300 x 200mm.). First imprimatur leaf, title printed in red and black with engraved arms of the Royal Society (waterstained), 38 engraved plates, 11 folding (plate 34 with small tear near fold, a few trimmed within platemark occasionally touching illustration), plate 2 and 13 numbered in manuscript. (A few pages with slight stains.) 19th-century calf-backed boards (small splits in hinges, upper cover discoloured).
FIRST EDITION, a crisp copy of the first account of the observations made with Hooke's improved compound microscope, observing inorganic and animal substances, including for the first time a polyzoon. The remarkable and accurate engravings are after the author, but some probably by Sir Christopher Wren, and illustrate the structure of a bee's sting, the compound eye of a fly and other observations. Keynes 6; Wing H-2620; Horblit 50 ("An early landmark in microscopy, containing the first illustration of cells"); Printing and the Mind of Man 147; Dibner Heralds of Science 187.
