🦪 A history of British Mollusca and their shells
London: John Van Voorst, 1853.

Historical illustration plate titled "Plate P" from 1853, showing detailed scientific sketches of British mollusca shells. Seven different mollusk shells are depicted in fine line art, each labeled with a number from 1 to 6, including two labeled with a superscript "a" to indicate specific shell parts such as byssal appendages and disks. The shells vary in shape and texture, some elongated and others round, with detailed ridges and spiny edges. Below the illustrations are corresponding scientific names for each shell, such as Arca tetragona, Leda caudata, Leda pygmæa, and others, emphasizing the taxonomy and anatomical features typical of mid-19th century natural history documentation.

He really blew it with "mollusca". Molluscs aren't arthropods! Some of them have no solid parts at all!

Historical black-and-white illustration plate labeled "Plate LI" from 1853, showing detailed, scientific drawings of twelve different British mollusk shells of the genus Pecten. Each shell varies in shape, size, and texture, featuring ribbed, scalloped, and patterned surfaces. Central larger shells display fine radial ridges with notched edges. Smaller surrounding shells exhibit diverse markings including spots, stripes, and varying rib density. The plate includes close-up inserts of shell edge structures for two specimens. Captions below identify species and varieties such as Pecten striatus, P. opercularis var. lineatus, and P. pusio young. Published by John Van Voorst, emphasizing molluscan shell morphology.
