Curious animals in ornamental foliage. Wolfgang Hieronymus von Bommel - about 1660

Animals shaped with ornamental foliage. Wolfgang Hieronymus von Bommel - about 1660 (pub 1894)

Dear NYPL Digital,
We very much appreciate the two proto-surrealist images of ornamental foliage figures by Wolfgang Hieronymus von Bömmel from about 1660 (published in 1894) you have in your database.
But as there seems to be no other examples of his intriguing work online (nor much in the way of information) we would be grateful if you would put the other thirteen illustrations from this particular folder on your digitisation to-do list.
Thanks very much.
PK.
