If the original post link is clicked, there are dozens of additional illustrations.

By searching for books with "illustrated" in the title before 1800, using the advanced search, I'm finding dozens of books with copper plates, ranging from travelogues through familiar and unfamiliar places to scientific treatises of the times. I even found a early edition of the first volume of Encyclopedia Britannica when it was only a three books instead of dozens of volumes. Even then, it still contained 160 copperplate illustrations.

I've always liked the look of the old copperplate drawings.
