Explore the treasures of botany and learn about the many amazing species of the world: from plants with medicinal properties, toxic ones, flowering beauties or ones thriving at the bottom of the sea.
This is an anthology of illustrations from the 17th and 18th centuries, when scientific illustrations were a necessity to the development of science, prior to the invention of photography.
The high quality vintage images are accompanied by informative text from biologist Carmen Soria and has been created in partnership with the National Museum of Natural History in Madrid, Spain.
Discover the botanical world from your armchair, and pull out your favourite posters to frame and display.
