Historical scientific illustration titled "Plate VI" from an 1867 book on algae. It depicts two detailed line drawings of diatoms: 27, Isthmia enervis, shown as a large, elongated, asymmetrical rectangular form with a curved base and intricate internal patterns of small cells and dots; and 28, Amphitetras antediluviana, shown as a chain of five connected square-shaped diatom cells, each with a patterned surface and small nodules at the corners. The drawing focuses on the structural details characteristic of these freshwater and marine algae species.

Historical botanical illustration of Cattleya lawrenceana, an orchid species, showing several large pink flowers with ruffled petals and deep red centers atop thick green and gray pseudobulbs. Broad, glossy green leaves emerge from the base, with visible white roots spreading below. The detailed print highlights the plant’s vibrant colors and textures in a naturalistic style typical of 19th-century botanical art. The image is titled "Lindenia," published in Ghent, Belgium, between 1885 and 1906, and is related to the keyword "cattle," referencing the orchid’s genus name rather than livestock.
