    "The essays in this book examine the role that illustrations played in the creation and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the Eighteenth Century. The first section concerns experiments and the image of Enlightenment Science ... The second section considers the image of nature as it was shaped and modified by botanical gardens, museums of natural sciences, and scientific textbooks."--Dust jacket
