Off to the AES exhibition on Saturday. Plenty of artwork, prints & books for sale, plus this fantastic Swiss made Wild binocular microscope, with carrying case, camera lucida, photo tubes and eye-pieces. Has helped with many books I’ve worked on. Looking forward to meeting many ento friends.
Thanks Thea
