Not all herbaria are in herbaria. Some are in library collections, and it's wonderful to find they are continuing to be acquired.

The question of how we'll feed ourselves, now and in the future, is becoming ever more pressing. We’ll be hosting fortnightly talks where writers, artists, scientists and chefs will come together to explore the future of food. To book 👉 ow.ly/vMBN50IVvMN #KewFood

Thanks for these weekly posts. They are a great way to learn about the Hunt Institute's collection.
This week we enjoy botanical art from the Catalogue of the Botanical Art Collection at the Hunt Institute database (huntbotanical.org/databases/show…), the Flora Portrayed exhibition catalogue (huntbotanical.org/publications/s…) and Gérard van Spaendonck (huntbotanical.org/art/show.php?15).
This 1790 landscape transparency by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle is considered an early precursor to motion pictures. With nearly 70 feet of painting, it is one of less than a dozen known to survive to this day!
