Item Details

A set of 6 framed Herbarium/pressed flowers from England c.1845.
Names of the specimens are written in ink in both English and Latin and on occasion the place picked, for example on the picture with the bow the label says “Collected from the walls of Goodrich Castle. Ja….y 13 - 1845.”
Goodrich is a castle near Ross-on- Wye Herefordshire which was a ruin even then and a magnet for tourists in the 18th and 19th century, as it still is today.
Page numbers can just be seen on some in the top right corner in red ink.
From the information we have received the others are also possibly from the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire/ Cotswolds area.
This is a splendid example of mid-19th Century pressed botanical specimens from the height of the herbarium ( pressed flower )/science enthusiasm.
Each picture’s full size, including frame, is 30cm x 48cm.
Framed in black and gold faux bamboo frames with UltraVue UV70 anti-reflective glass.
