At the turn of the century,one fashionable or genteel pastime that many Victorian women occupied their time with, was the collection of plants.These botanical specimens were gathered,dried,pressed, then mounted on papers and placed into books called herbariums.When pressed on paper the plants were captured as a work of nature and today as a form of art.Many of these pioneering women became renowned botanists in their day.Their herbariums can be found in leading universities all over the world.We have found wonderful American and European herbariums from the late 1800's to early 1900's.These botanical specemens make beautiful statements when grouped together for any room of your home.
Our botanicals range in price from $20.00 to $75.00 a page.
