The illustration work of
Orra White Hitchcock is recognized as being among the first bodies of work of scientific illustrations from a woman. It depicts cross sections of geological phenomena, prehistoric skeletons and marine life. The cross sections in particular catch my eye for the color palette that seems contrary to what you think of when envisioning the dirt and rock that makes up the interior of our planet. All of it is worth a peek but I'd pore over a book of those dissections for hours.
