 Seeking to create a unique view of an old topic, web designer and artist Nicholas Rougeaux decided to test his patience and in the process expand his skill base by taking on the task of restoring James Sowerby's illustrations of British as well as exotic minerology.
He concludes that it was no small feat creating a collage that included every last catalogued mineral from the 19th century volumes- of which there were seven- but it was, as he put it, a labour of love. I am so impressed by the work he put in over a span of four months. This illustrated compendium of minerals is stunning for those who are interested in minerology and for those who want to just feast their eyes alike. More on the technicalities of this project are on James' site c82.net
