Where it works
Plate 58 from Seba shows a large tan bat with wings outstretched above two spread flying squirrels, one yellow-brown and one dark gray with a striped tail, on cream with a label. A natural-history oddity for a study, library or child's science corner on olive or ochre walls at 16×24 in natural wood.
