eBotanical Prints – August 2023
/Twenty more books were added to the botanical print collection this month – available for browsing on Internet Archive. The first 4 books in August were Japanese flower books by Bairei Kono from 1901 – the year one of my grandfathers was born.
The next three were published in the mid-1800s…not exactly botanical print books but about plants – their depiction, relationship to religion, and uses.
The next three are research publications from the Missouri Botanical Garden published in 1991.
The remaining 10 books are George Engelmann’s scanned botanical notebooks from the mid-1800s. He evidently made his notebooks from whatever paper was available…and used a variety of pencils!
Overall – quite a range of publications!
The whole list of 2,695 botanical eBooks can be accessed here. The list for the August 2023 books with links to the volumes and sample images is at the bottom of this post.
