Bison, aphids and a microscope sit side by side in these steel engravings by J. Bower, published by A. Fullarton & Co. in 1849, with the engraver's Edinburgh connection recorded in the plate credit. Bison, musk oxen, sheep and South American camelids make up the zoological plates, while aphids and their predators show insects and the relations between species. A microscope and diagrams of measurement represent scientific instruments, and the Bog of Allen adds an Irish landscape.
