A Garden of Flowers
Hortus floridus
Bok av Crispijn van de Passe
In this 17th-century book of some 100 exemplary b&w plant engravings, Pass (d. 1670) grouped flowers by season. This facsimile includes a preface by a noted botanist, notes on the translation from Dutch, and an index of the 48 flowers represented that are now established favorites but were new then.
