Print this page

This display explores a range of botanical illustrations from the V&A’s collections, from 16th century woodcut herbals and magnificent 18th-century watercolours, to contemporary photographic prints. Originally created to aid identification or to describe new and exotic discoveries, these images now remain as lasting records of the fragile beauties of flowering plants.
