" Now for the shapes and proportions of these flyes, it is impossible to
describe them without paynting, therefore you shall take of these
severall flyes alive, and laying them before you, trie how near your Art
can come unto nature by an equall shapes and mixture of colours, and
when you have made them, you may keep them in close boxes uncrushed, and
they will serve you many yeares."
Gervase Markham - He was the first to give us the idea of "matching the
hatch" - [1631]
