Abstract

Several recently discovered drawings of insects are attributed to Robert Hooke and his collaborators, and their relationship to Hooke's Micrographia is discussed. The annotated drawings reveal a hitherto unknown working relationship between Hooke and several collaborators in making and recording microscopic observations. One of these collaborators is tentatively identified as the London instrument-maker Ralph Greatorex.
