Woodcut of Seaweed and Coral-like Plants, Imperato's Natural History

A printed page with two woodcut illustrations. The upper image shows a branching, fan-like marine growth with a small crab-like creature at its base. The lower panel shows a tall stalked, leaf-like sea plant rising from rocky ground, with a diver-like figure beside it among wavy horizontal lines of water. Dense italic and roman text runs in columns at left and the page header and number are visible at top.
