hspdigitallibrary:A particularly wonderful collection of pressed flowers and plants contained in Henry Armitt Brown’s Flower Album. Brown collected specimens for his botanists’ scrapbook from July 18, 1866 to March 28, 1867, while traveling throughout Central Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. It also contains some lovely illustrations by Brown, depicting his adventures. Each sample contains a location (sometimes vague) and a date. This is the first of two flower albums Brown manufactured. The second volume should also be available on HSP’s digital library by the end of June!~Sam -- source link
