Lindley Live - Printing Petals: Flowers in 'Botanica in originali'

Discover the intricate nature prints hidden within our collections at this show and tell.

Join Rare Book Librarian Jess, as we delve into the pages of Johann Hieronymous Kniphof's 1758 work Botanica in originali seu herbarium vivum.

An enduring endeavour in the world of plant studies has been the attempt to capture the most accurate image of a plant possible to help with identification and description.

Discover the process and the beauty of the nature printed flowers which decorate the pages of this work.
