Digital version of (part of) an important historical work on Central-American biodiversity. Many plates of insects. Takes some hunting to find the plates, but can be downloaded as pdf's and they are beautiful. The original work is from the end of the 19th century, and is in the public domain, but the Smithsonian is asserting copyright to the digital version--they allow educational and personal use.

there are other ref entries for the same resource
despite the fact that the entries (1) and (2) were added later, they are better formatted for citation purposes, and correctly treat the source as a book

Fascinating
Some of those plates are beautiful. I'm tempted to print some out and frame them for my office walls.
