This week from the stacks of our LuEsther T. Mertz Library, original watercolor drawings from the 1885 copy of Flowers and Ferns of America by Sprague, Faxon, and Emerton; and Rembert Dodoens’ Nievve Herball in its 1578 English translation, demonstrating centuries-old annotations that gave us the word “marginalia.” You can learn more about that from The New Yorker! -- source link
