The Victorian craze for the home aquarium began with books like this. Henry Noel Humphreys guides the reader to the floor of the ocean and back to the parlor tank, stocking it with zoophytes, molluscs, barnacles and seaweeds. Beautifully illustrated and full of wonder. Build a living slice of the sea beside your own window.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
