An artistic (but not scientific) illustration from 1893 of European land snails and slugs, also showing some food plants and fungi, eggs, and a beetle predator
Reason
It has very little scientific value at all. The artist drew the snails and slugs so "loosely" that they are not well portrayed, and one of the species is not a pulmonate anyway. The main problem is that the images do not very closely resemble the actual snails and slugs that are supposed to be being depicted, and because of that this image is quite misleading scientifically, although in other respects it is arguably cute and charming.
