Royal Horticultural Society Librariesさんのイラストまとめ

@ChristinGeall Afraid you've beaten us - no lathyrus sativus in our digitised collection yet - though in normal times we are digitising all the time. In the meantime we can offer Lathyrus sylvestris by Lilian Snelling painted on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire.

@Lilyglowember Very happy to help, even in a small way. We know a lot of our library members and friends are shielding and we look forward to seeing you back in our libraries. In the meantime, the least we can do is this...

@ChristinGeall @LisaRomeo Here is a peony from the collections of the Lindley Library for you

@GreenFeltham @BridgeHousePond Here we are - Watercolour of Anchusa azurea (Italian alkanet) by Caroline Maria Applebee. Date: 1834. Hope you enjoy!

@JuanAnt85311975 @ErandiRR Happy Birthday! Here is Dahlia pinnata painted by Sydenham Teast Edwards in 1816 - from our collections at the Lindley Library in London

@ana_captures @Sanditon We have this lovely watercolour titled 'Aubepine' and intitialled 'E.S' [crataegus, hawthorn] taken from volume I of 'Flore du désert: receuil des fleurs odorantes dans un coin consacré à une amie', a work produced by an unidentified French artist. We think circa 1800

@AnnieOdyne @StuartKells @JANUSZCZAK Absolutely - we have lots of amazing peony artwork from Eastern and Western art like this watercolour of Paeonia (peony) flowers and leaves, attributed to the Chinese artist or collector Wang Lui Chi. Date: circa 1800.

@craftybookworm Here is a watercolour from the mid 1600s depicting flowers identified as daisy, forget-me-not, Narcissus and pansy from an album titled 'Flores a Petro Holsteyn ad vivum depicti' by the artist Pieter Holsteyn.

@FiShoop @BotanyRocks Yes of course - here is a 17th century watercolour on vellum of Harebell, Scottish Bluebell, from the album 'Fiori Bottan' in our collection. Hope you enjoy!

For #WoodcutWednesday we have some wonderful hand-coloured prints from ‘Plantarum, arborum, fruticum, et herbarum effigies’ published in Frankfurt in 1652. #RareBooks
