Calling all artists, or just people who like cool pictures

[delphipsmith]

The Biodiversity Heritage Library has animal sketches, historical diagrams, botanical studies, and all kinds of cool scientific research (do-it-yourself taxidermy, anyone?) collected from journals and libraries around the world, along with 55 million pages of literature dating back to the 15th century. Now, they've made 150,000 illustrations available for free download in high-resolution files. Is this not just the coolest thing ever??? Go forth and create!!
