I had forgotten how much I loved this
Stephen Biesty's books until I came across them again recently in the library. I had always loved pouring over their pages for interesting little subjects. His books feature freehand pen and watercolour cross sections with accurate and fine details. Some were historical (
Rome,
Ancient World,
Stowaway) or informative - showing things you'd never usually see (
Helicopters,
Space Shuttles) but my favourites are the ones that show every day life (
Castles,
Subways) miniscule scenes with tiny people doing funny things. When I got home and checked him out online, I also found this absolutely stunning video:

Vimeo.
