agreed. completely lovely.
You an me both…. In a heartbeat. Sometimes I look around at thrift stores hoping someday I might get lucky and find one on the cheap.
I have a similar obsession w/ vintage illustration books. They’re amazing. I just bought a book of illustrated sea life. Excited for it to arrive!
I totally agree. There is something so beautiful about these illustrations.
this is awesome- you should check out the NY public library digital collection…especially this one (http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/explore/dgexplore.cfm?topic=science&col_id=184).
i love these, i just bought a vintage print from a book on etsy of wasps for my husband and he loves it. the illustrations are so detailed and beautiful.
ps. i gave you an award over on my blog because you’re so inspirational, thanks!

beautiful! so simple and beautiful — they make me feel relaxed just looking at them.
I love these too! You can buy prints online from botanical garden libraries like this one: http://www.mbgpress.info/kohler.htm
have you seen this website? http://vintageprintable.com/wordpress/ I know a book is a lot different, but there are really great things you can find in there and they’re FREE :)
your blog is lovely!
Have a great weekend :)
I’m with you — I’d love to own a vintage botany book someday. Something so lovely about those illustrations.
