Albertus Seba


Albertus Seba (1665-1736)
Collector of "natural curiosities"
Zoologist
Pharmacist
Artist




This collections of Seba's engravings of rare specimins is so incredible. I own Seba's Cabinet of Natural Curiosities and page through it constantly. I especially adore the sea life images. Below are a small sampling of some of my favorites.
