This essential collection of royalty-free illustrations will satisfy the perennial needs of graphic artists, designers, and advertisers for animal illustrations. It includes a CD-ROM containing 542 high-quality, grayscale, royalty-free images scanned at 600 dpi and saved in TIFF and JPEG formats, and a large-format, 72-page book with every image on the CD-ROM printed large and clearly on one side of the page only and numbered for easy reference and direct cut-and-paste use. Carefully selected by Carol Belanger Grafton from rare nineteenth century sources, the meticulously detailed engravings portray an astonishing variety of animals ― from lions, elephants, and kittens to whales, eagles, and lizards. Also included on the CD-ROM is Dover Design Manager, a simple graphics editing program for Windows that will allow you to view, print, crop, and rotate the images.

The original illustrations were rendered in pen-and-ink in great detail, and are reprinted here in black and white with high resolution. Having been printed on pages with blank backs, the illustrations can be cut out for use, or scanned digitally. Most are a few inches in size (ranging from 1.5 to 6 inches), with 10 to 20 per page.
Although sources of the illustrations are not given, they probably appeared in various old books and monographs on natural history and zoology, since most are rendered in scientific detail. The drawings are arranged more-or-less phylogenetically. Thus one page shows various monkeys and apes, while other pages are successively devoted to horses, canids, felids, elephants, hoofed mammals, rodents and marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes, insects, and various other invertebrates. While not the most comprehensive such collection, this treasury has its uses. ( )
