“Nothing is pleasanter to me than exploring in a library.”
- Walter Savage Landor, English poet & writer (Imaginary Conversations), who was born #OTD in 1775
German botanist and entomologist George Dionysius Ehret was born #OnThisDay in 1708. He was also a dab hand at illustration, as can be seen in his work of the 1750s 'Plantae and rariores papiliones', a copy of which is housed at the RHS Lindley Library. #BotanicalArt
