Detail from Robert Hooke's 1666 Illustration of felt-makers at work, drawn to accompany the printed version of a report by Robert Hooke ‘An Account of the Feltmakers Trade’.
I cleaned up this image, removing some smudges, the parts that showed the feltmaking process only, and several items that Mr Hooke had Scribbled out.
