A boxed notecard set featuring beautiful prints of medicinal plants. The set features sixteen hand-colored plates from Elizabeth Blackwell's A Curious Herbal (1737 39). Blackwell, a talented artist with a passion for the natural world, published her herbal as a means of financial support after her husband landed in debtor's prison, and it quickly became a valuable reference for doctors and apothecaries. These notecards - featuring plants like aloe, chamomile, and St. John's Wort - are the perfect stationery for herbalists and all lovers of botanical illustration.
The perfect stationery for herbalists, gardeners, and admirers of botanical illustration. Sixteen notecards (each with a different design) and seventeen envelopes, housed in a presentation-quality box. Featuring exquisite vintage engravings of chamomile, St. John's Wort, aloe-and cocoa!
