eBotanicalPrints –July – October 2017

/

I am still working on creating a new section of my site. It should be ready by early 2018; my plan to include all the botanical prints books I perused in 2017 to get is started. This month I am getting the material formatted….working out the details for the new section.

Today I am highlighting the books I read from July – October. There were not as many botanical print books because I shifted to butterflies (prompted by my volunteering at Brookside Gardens Wings of Fancy).

July

Most of the books in July were The Botanical Cabinet volumes. There are 20 in all published in the early 1800s. Note that not all the books I am including in the collection are formal botanical prints; sometimes, they are art or catalogs or garden pictures….that are dominated by plants. They are not meant to be scientific documentation of the plant; I enjoy them too much to leave them out.
