Despite the bulky volume of some #herbals, these books were very well used and often bear elaborate #marginalia as a result. Here's a 👉 #manicule and a snake from our 1485 Ortus Sanitatis, printed by P. Schoeffer. #maniculeMonday #marginaliaMonday #rarebooks #herbal #incunabula
Our Archives materials relating to the Living Collections are a treasure trove of plant exchanges, connections and observations 🧐 These are lists of plants sent by Dora Stafford to Kew and we can see how well they did in the Gardens! Can you spot the 'gem' in the lists?
Today is #PlantAppreciationDay and our team would like to mark the occasion by choosing some favourites from amongst our collections! Though the choice is always a tricky one 🌺 These gooseberries and gorse illustrations will brighten up your day 🌻
During our current inventory, we came across this beautiful painting of an Alcea flower- also known as #Hollyhock. Whilst a popular garden choice, Hollyhock is also the feature of the annual Kyoto festival 'Aoi Matsuri', where they are celebrated for their legendary significance.
One of the oldest Archive records of plants in our Gardens is this 'Catalogue of Trees and Shrubs" from 1773. It was found in Windsor Castle library almost 200 years later and transferred by the Royal Librarian to the Keeper of the Herbarium & Library, Arthur Cotton.
It is the last week of Orchids of Lindisfarne, which features paintings of orchids by botanical artist Reinhild Raistrick. Come along to the Herbarium at Kew Green to visit, open Tuesday-Thursday 10am-4pm. #BotanicalIllustration #OrchidsofLindisfarne #KewLibraryandArchives
A Transylvanian flora with a black leather binding and edges that remind us of bloodshot eyes... Published in Sibiu in 1866. Any attempts at #deciphering the #handwriting on the title page? #ForeEdgeFriday #Romania #Romanian #aroundtheworldin80books #RareBooks
Our Archives team recently repackaged a new accession for our Charles Baron Clarke collection, including these letters. A very compact way of writing correspondence - unusually neat compared to the majority of our letters 🧐 #archives
Happy Easter from the Library, Illustrations & Archives teams here at Kew! 🌺 Lilium longiflorum is also called the Easter Lily or Bermuda Easter Lily! In one of our Goods Inwards volumes and some letters we can see that Kew received Lilium harrisii from W T James in Bermuda.
If you are quick, you might just catch the magnolias in bloom in the Gardens – a sign that Spring is on the way! This illustration of Magnolia campbelli is from the book ‘Illustrations of Himalayan plants’ (1855), and is by the prolific illustrator Walter Hood Fitch. #magnolias
This stunner from our collection is the 1860 'Some of my bush friends in Tasmania: native flowers, berries, and insects, drawn from life, illustrated in verse, and briefly described' by Louisa Anne Meredith. #aroundtheworldin80books #Tasmania #RareBooks #WomenArtists #moths
The use of a miswak - a twig from the plant Salvadora persica - for tooth hygiene is an essential element of religious ablutions for many Muslims. Miswak has been shown to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. (from 'Plants of the coast of Coromandel', 1795) #wudu #medicinalplants
Naturalistic planting in #gardening may seem like a very modern thing, but Irish gardener and writer William Robinson already promoted the idea in 1870 with his book 'The Wild Garden'. Our first edition copy has a beautiful green Victorian binding. #rarebooks #shelfie #garden
Today is #WorldForestryDay! This picture depicts a lush forest in Borneo, painted by Marianne North in 1876. Amidst the ongoing threat of deforestation, with 10 million hectares lost annually, it is likely this landscape has changed drastically since this painting was completed.

Yesterday was #StPatricksDay!🍀 The plant associated with the day and Ireland is of course the clover (also called trefoil) from the genus Trifolium. Legend has it that Saint Patrick used the three-leafed plant to symbolise the Holy Trinity in Christianity.

@Kew_LAA What a beautiful and interesting post. Happy Easter to you too! 🪷🌺🌼
William Robinson is one of my heroes, humble origins in rural Ireland instilled a quest for knowledge & hard work. His innovations included the use of natives, alpines and ‘drifts’ of wildflower, plus the tented English flower show and crematoria. ‘The Wild Garden’ is brilliant.
Naturalistic planting in #gardening may seem like a very modern thing, but Irish gardener and writer William Robinson already promoted the idea in 1870 with his book 'The Wild Garden'. Our first edition copy has a beautiful green Victorian binding. #rarebooks #shelfie #garden

Hi, I’m Talay and I’m the curatorial assistant for @NHM_Coleoptera (#Beetles). Here's some highlights. Titan beetles are 17cm long (the largest). Burying beetles will bury small mammals or birds, lay their eggs on it so the larvae can feed on the carrion.
Mary Roberts was born #OnThisDay in 1788. Natural history #author her books include "The conchologist's companion", 1834, & "A popular history of the Mollusca", 1851. #WomensHistoryMonth #WomensHistoryMonth2024 #OTD
