Illustration from "The living world: a complete natural history of the world's creatures" by J.W. Buel was first published in 1891 (I just scored a copy!)

I'm obsessed with these deep sea creatures that are based on rumors heresy and globsters from fishing nets:

I also have some choice words about the inaccuracy of the section on ants.

A colorful, cluttered Victorian illustration of "wonderful fishes of the sea" there are angler fish, eels, sharks, and a diver in an old style suit. Many of the creatures are bizarre and unreal looking.
