| Summary: |
Assorted illustrations of plants and animals. The bulk of these are scientific engravings of plants, including many species of geranium, and two of the plates are partially hand-colored. Images 4-25 are from German botanist Johann Jakob Dillenius' Hortus Elthamensis. John Bartram sent Dillenius specimens for a later work, but whether the elder Bartram owned a complete volume of the Hortus Elthamensis is unknown. |
