Vermeer's painting "A View of Delft". De Graaf carried out his work on generation in Delft (and was a neighbour of Vermeer's), while Leeuwenhoek lived there all his life.
Engraving of 17th century Dutch printshop, by Jan Luyken.The Hack printshop where de Graaf tried to persuade the printer not to include Swammerdam's drawing in Blaes' textbook must have looked something like this.
Entry in the catalogue of the Royal Society's museum referring to Swammerdam's gift of a preserved uterus and a copy of his book, "Miraculum Naturae". The specimens have since disappeared, but the book is still in the Royal Society library.
Title page of de Graaf's "De Mulieum Organis" (1672)
