LJS 419 is our favorite herbal! It includes paintings of plants, some realist and some... not so realistic. It was written on paper in Italy, over the course of the 15th century. Watch closely and you may see someone you know! Find out more at the ���:

(I am trying some different video formats, trying to be a little more dynamic while still doing the page turning action. I'd love to know what you think! Happy new year and here's to 2024!)

It's dandelion season here in Columbia, and thanks to a visitor to our reading room, we found a beautiful dandelion in our copy of Leonhart Fuchs' De Historia Stirpium (1542). Dandelions are native to Eurasia and may have been brought to North America for medicinal purposes by early colonizers. VAULT OVR QK41 .F7 1542

“Tigerlillia Terribilis” from Edward Lear’s Nonsense Botany (1871–77)

A selection of illustrations from one of my (dead) grandpa’s old biology books. This one is “How to Know the Wild Flowers” by Mrs William Starr Dana, 1905. Illustrations by Marion Satterlee and Elsie Louise Shaw.

The black and white illustrations have MS, likely for Marion Satterlee. That suggests Elsie Louise Shaw probably did the color illustrations.
