The scanned images may give casual viewers a false sense of scale. The height of each page is actually ~23.5 cm. Thus the drawings are smaller than one may think, and the traces are quite thin -- 0.1 mm or so on the drawings, a bit more on the text. The face of a typical nymph is only ~3mm wide and ~5 mm tall. Could you draw consistent faces of that size? With a quill pen, on a rough vellum?
