Royal Horticultural Society Birthday Book by Royal Horticultural Society
Birthdays and anniversaries are never easy to remember. Unless they are stored in one place, it can be necessary to copy them from diary to diary on a yearly basis. This stationery item is a place to keep all your birthdays together and is illustrated with botanical drawings of medicinal plants taken from books by two physicians: William Woodville's Medical Botany (1790-93) illustrated by James Sowerby, the major English botanical artist of his generation, and Ferdinand Vietz's Icones Plantarum (1800-20) with drawings by the accomplished Viennese artist Iganz Alberti.
