"Giant Sea Serpent" - an extraordinary woodcut hand-coloured print of a giant sea monster serpent attacking a ship by Conrad Gessner, from the third German edition of his Fischbuch, published in 1598 in Zurich.

Conrad Gessner (1516 - 1565) was a Swiss physician, bibliographer, natural historian, philologist and illustrator. He was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and studied languages, theology and medicine at university. Later as a City Physician he spend much of his time on collecting, research and writing. Gessner compiled monumental works on bibliography (Bibliotheca universalis 1545–1549) and zoology (Historia animalium 1551–1558) and was working on a major botanical text at the time of his death from plaque at the age of 49. He is regarded as the father of modern scientific bibliography, zoology and botany. Over his lifetime he produced some 70 publications on many different subjects. In Historia animalium Gessner combines data from old sources, such as the Old Testament, Aristotle, Pliny, folklore, and medieval bestiaries. Gessner's books were illustrated with hand-coloured woodcut prints of many well-known animals, and some fictional ones, including unicorns, mermaids and serpents.

Gessner's woodcut of a giant sea serpent attacking a ship is notably similar to one by Olaus Magnus in his History of the Northern Peoples published in 1555. This remarkable leaf depicting the sea serpent is from the third German edition of Gessner's Fischbuch, published by Christoff Froschower in Zurich in 1598. This volume contains many additional illustrations by Gessner, based on his observations as well as on work of other naturalists of 16th century.

Holds a lot of food well
Style: 28oz, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I used these plates for a very large party. Great quality and holds food good due to being a deep plate. Didn't seem flimsy and no leak through that I could tell.

Extra large paper bowls are sturdy, affordable, and make clean up a breeze.
Style: 28oz, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I like the convenience of paper plates and these large deep dish plates are perfect for microwave cooking. They handle large dinners, pasta, stuffing and vegetables with no problems and without any leaking, and are a good value for the price. They look stylish and make clean up less of a chore. You can't go wrong with Dixie paper products. They're sturdy, fun, and last through the meal.
