Phoenix, Pelican, Harpy, Griffin - an exceptionally rare engraved and hand-coloured print of mythical creatures by Merian & Jonston from "Historiae naturalis de serpentibus et draconibus libri II" published in 1657 in Amsterdam.

John Jonston, or Joannes Jonstonus (1603 – 1675) was a Polish scholar and physician, descended from Scottish nobility and closely associated with the Polish magnate family of the Leszczyńskis. He earned his first degree at the University of St Andrews and then worked as a private tutor in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and continued his studies in Cambridge, Frankfurt, Franeker and Leiden. Jonston has published major natural history studies including Thautomatographia naturalis and Theatrum universale omnium animalium, piscium, avium, quadrupedum, exanguium aquaticorum, insectorum et angium.

Matthäus Merian der Ältere (1593 – 1650) was a Swiss-born engraver who worked in Frankfurt for most of his career, where he also ran a publishing house. Born in Basel, Merian learned the art of copperplate engraving in Zürich. He next worked and studied in Strasbourg, Nancy, and Paris, before returning to Basel in 1615. The following year he moved to Frankfurt, Germany where he worked for the publisher Johann Theodor de Bry, who was the son of renowned engraver and traveler Theodor de Bry. Early in his life, he had created detailed town plans in his unique style. With Martin Zeiler, a German geographer, and later with his own son, he produced a Topographia Germaniae in 38 parts. After Merian's death, his sons Matthaus Jr and Caspar continued publishing of Topographia Germaniae and Theatrum Europaeum. It includes numerous town plans and views, as well as maps of most countries and a World Map - it was such a popular work that it was re-issued in many editions. He also took over and completed the later parts and editions of the Grand Voyages and Petits Voyages, originally started by de Bry in 1590. He was also noted for the finesse of his alchemical illustrations.

Does not cool, is hot actually
I am very disappointed with this product. I write a lot of reviews and give credit where credit is due. I wish credit was due here. I bought this as a gift for my wife. She slept on it for a few nights and finally stated that it never cools and is hot instead. And so I tried it and found the same thing. I bought an inexpensive cooling pillow from Costco and we both found that one to cool a little bit and it isn’t hot. I’m summary, you don’t always get what you pay for and at $100, this pillow does not deliver. It’s supportive and it seems well made, which is why I give it two stars. But it does not deliver any cooling. Save your money and try a different pillow.

Does what it claims, supportive and eliminates heat.
Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: Single Pack
Its a bit pricey however when it comes to sleep quality im glad to pay for name brand. No tossing or turning to escape to the cold side of the pillow. Feels firm which was concerning at first however once you settle in its very comfortable. Seems to be just how foam pillows are made. Happy with the purchase.

I have found the PERFECT pillow for me!!!
Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: Single Pack
I just absolutely never write a review on anything, but I have to praise this pillow from the rooftops! I have not slept this comfortably is so many years! I have plushness and support, my neck is in alignment, and when I turn to sleep on my side the pillow doesn’t block my airflow. This pillow is perfectly made for me!!!!

Absolutely love this pillow! It’s incredibly soft, supportive, and stays cool throughout the night. I’ve been sleeping much better since getting it. Great quality, perfect firmness, and definitely worth every penny.

Soft pillow
Color: Soft, Size: Standard(24"×16"×5.5")
This latex pillow has been a great addition to my sleep routine. It offers the perfect balance of softness and support, especially side sleeping. I noticed less pressure on my neck and shoulders after using it. I also like that it’s made with natural latex and free from harsh memory foam chemicals. The removable cover is convenient, and the packaging makes it feel like a premium product.
