British Diatomists of the 19th Century:
The PDF files contain the full original text, as well as plates and legends. To save memory, the text pages are in greyscale, but plates and legends are facsimiles. The jpeg compression causes some distortion around lines, however this can be minimised by printing the page or optimising the magnification of the document (with the zoom function on your Adobe Acrobat Reader™).
Larger PDFs may take a long time to download and print.
