Up for sale is an incredible antique students biology notebook/drawing pad used to draw animal anatomy filling a total of 27 pages. The detail in the drawings is remarkable which can be seen in the last images provided. I had to add four images into each photo so you could see them all. If you want to see any closer with better detail please feel free to ask. This was all completed and drawn by "Nita Taylor" as signed on the front cover.

 All drawings are done in pencil and executed very well, while they are amateur done most likely a student this is a great piece of history and art. The notebook does show some wear attributing to its age which is from the early 1900's and the pages have even yellowing and or bent edges. Slight imperfections are present but nothing that takes away from the collectibility or art work. Some pages have been pulled out front the binding.

I will now do my best to list what every page of the 27 total has on it. The list should coincide with the progression of the images. The titles I write below have been written by the originator on the bottom of each page.

1. External features of a grasshopper. Side view
