It’s that spooky time of year again…
And these weeping baby skeletons want to wish you…
a happy…
HALLOWEEN!

This impressive work was created with the goal of explaining the bible scientifically and is famous for its 784 full page illustrations… including this illustration of Genesis chapter 1, verses 26-27 decorated with the stages of fetal development and infant skeletons.
