Albertus Sebas Naturalienkabinett gehört zu den grössten naturhistorischen Errungenschaften des 18. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl das Sammeln von Naturexemplaren zu Forschungszwecken in seinem Beruf üblich war, ging die Leidenschaft des in Amsterdam ansässigen Apothekers Albertus Seba (1665-1736) weit über seine Pflichten hinaus. Seine erstaunliche und beispiellose Sammlung von Tieren, Pflanzen und Insekten aus aller Welt erlangte noch zu seinen Lebzeiten internationalen Ruhm. Nach Jahrzehnten der Sammlertätigkeit gab Seba im Jahr 1731 Illustrationen von jedem einzelnen Exemplar in Auftrag und sorgte für die Veröffentlichung eines vierbändigen Katalogs: von merkwürdigen exotischen Pflanzen über Schlangen, Frösche, Krokodile, Schalentiere, Korallen, Vögel und Schmetterlinge bis hin zu Fantasiewesen wie Hydra und Drache. Unsere prächtige Reproduktion entstand nach der Vorlage eines seltenen, von Hand kolorierten Originals. Die Einleitung liefert Hintergrundinformationen zur faszinierenden Tradition, der Sebas Kuriositäten angehörten.

I've caught the collector's bug again. What is it this time? Antique astronomy tools. And I'm blaming it on the Adler Planetarium, the first in America and home to one of the world's largest collections of historic scientific instruments. It all began when I stumbled upon their online collections, a
If you've ever made a spore print of a toadstool, then you might like to try making a similar one for a fern. This is one I made last night, from a piece of a Dryopteris fern growing in our garden. All you need to do is to find a fern frond with sporangia ripening on its undersurface, like the one below. This one is a little too young - you need to find one where the little grey, kidney-shaped cover (called indusium) over the sporangia has begun to shrivel and split and you can seen the dark sporangia around the edge. A magnifying glass is helpful for this. Then all you need to do is to leave the frond, sporangia-side downwards, on a sheet of white paper overnight, preferably in a room with no draughts. Overnight the sporangia will catapult their spores out, leaving an impression of the frond as they settle. The best thing to do with the spore print is to photograph it - it smudges of you try to make it permanent with an aerosol fixative. Or you could sow the spores, which will germinate to produce hundreds of new ferns - click here to see how this happens. I find the best substrate to sow them on is a piece of rotten wood that has been boiled in water to sterilise it. When it's cool sprinkle the spores on the surface of the wet wood and keep it permanently moist - a green film of germinating spores will appear over the surface and eventually produce ferns. Take care not to breath in the spores, which are as fine as dust and can be an irritant.
Hippocrates of Kos , also known as Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician of the classical period who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is traditionally referred to as the "Father of Medicine" in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field, such as the use of prognosis and clinical observation, the systematic categorization of diseases, or the formulation of humoural theory. The Hippocratic school of medicine revolutionized ancient Greek medicine, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields with which it had traditionally been associated , thus establishing medicine as a profession.[1][2]

You have to see only a single one of Guillermo del Toro’s lush, vivid movies to realize that the Mexican director, most recently of the Godzilla-style throwback Pacific Rim, is some kind of creative Tasmanian devil—another Tim Burton. It’s no surprise to learn that del Toro is a first-rate draftsman and has been obsessively marking up art notebooks for years. Fans have been wanting to a look at those notebooks for years, and finally, the day is nigh: Timed perfectly for Halloween gift season (is that even a thing?), Harper Design on October 29 is releasing a gorgeous edition of Guillermo del Toro Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions.
