A classic, thoughtfully renewed

History in
the details.

Jean-Henri Fabre’s The Story-Book of Science returns in a newly designed edition: a richly illustrated cover, a carefully typeset interior, and 69 restored historical plates.

The original 1917 illustrations were redrawn with AI assistance, retaining their subjects, compositions, and proportions. Creative direction, editorial design, layout refinement, and production preparation brought the edition together.
