The British & Exotic Mineralogy is a collection of all 2,242
illustrations from James Sowerby’s
compendium of knowledge about mineralogy
in Great Britain and beyond, drawn
1802–1817 and arranged by color. One of
the problems with STEM education is that
it doesn’t include nearly enough
art. Humans seem to find nature far
more awe-inspiring when it’s mediated by
painting, poetry, narrative, fine art
photography, etc. We need more resources
like this.
