In our library we have the first monograph devoted to birds. The L’Histoire de la Nature des Oyseaux was written in 1555 by Pierre Belon. It includes 144 woodcuts of birds he bought in European markets and some American specimens. #NHM_Library

More #ephemera from @britishmuseum #archive This is a drawing for the Museum’s proposed King Edward VII extension from the end of the 19thC. It was a huge scheme involving the whole east side of the building, but in the end wasn’t fully realised. #britishmuseum #nhm_library

@britishmuseum #archive #scrapbook #ephemera covers many different topics but this is 1 is intriguing. Relating to librarian & former Sec to @RoySocMed JYW MacAlister & son Donald (geologist & porcelain specialist) it has some interesting items in it. #nhm_library #BritishMuseum

There’s so much #ephemera in @britishmuseum #archive, like this scrap of paper from 1723 & signed by Hans Sloane, whose collection formed the foundation of the Museum. Unfortunately we don’t know what bill was awaiting payment! #archives #BritishMuseum #nhm_library
