Eva Ferguson's Late 19th Century Drawing Book with Very Lovely and Precise Biology Drawings early needlepoint the tiny little side wingThis is a lovely late 19th century notebook of drawings, done for biology class I presume, by a young Eva Ferguson was very very meticulous in her work!

All very precisely rendered
