Botany illustrations, 1823 C017 / 8062
Botany illustrations, 19th century. These illustrations show inflorescences (top) and simple leaves (bottom). Inflorescences are clusters of flowers. Simple leaves are those where the leaf either forms a single blade, or is divided into lobes as opposed to the separate leaflets of compound leaves (see image C017/8063). This page is from Universal Technological Dictionary (1823) by British author George Crabb (1778-1851)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the renowned Universal Technological Dictionary, published in 1823 by British author George Crabb. The image captures intricate botany illustrations from the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the rich history of flora and plant biology. The top portion of the illustration exhibits inflorescences, which are clusters of flowers that beautifully adorn flowering plants known as angiosperms. These vibrant arrays of blossoms showcase nature's artistic prowess and serve as a testament to the diversity found within our natural world. In contrast, the bottom section focuses on simple leaves, where each leaf either forms a single blade or is divided into lobes rather than having separate leaflets like compound leaves (depicted in image C017/8063). This detailed representation allows us to appreciate the intricate structures and patterns present in botanical life. As we delve deeper into this historical publication, we gain insight into how early scholars documented and studied plants' biological characteristics. With its monochrome artworks meticulously crafted with precision and care, this page serves as both an educational resource for biologists and an exquisite piece of art for enthusiasts. Thanks to Middle Temple Library/Science Photo Library's preservation efforts, this print offers us an opportunity to explore centuries-old botanical knowledge while marveling at nature's beauty captured through scientific illustration.
