For this week’s #FantasticBeastsintheLibrary challenge, we have the Gryphon, a mythological hybrid of an eagle and a lion. #SciArt from Historiae Naturalis de Quadrupedibus Libri (1657) by Joannes Jonstonus, which was contributed for digitization by @silibraries to #BiodiversityHeritageLibrary. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/40917145
