Healing Plants: A Botanical Card Deck
Healing Plants: A Botanical Card Deck
Fifty medicinal plants and herbs, one to a card, illustrated with engravings by Elizabeth Blackwell, who in the 1730s drew and hand-colored an entire herbal to pay her husband out of debtors' prison. The deck comes from Chelsea Physic Garden, London's oldest botanic garden, with a booklet on Blackwell's work and on the garden's 350 years.
We like it as much for the object as for the information. The color is soft, the drawing is precise, and a few of the cards look very good propped on a shelf.
Fifty cards and a booklet. Published by Octopus.
Questions
Everything here is something we would put in a Moss & Fog article: made by a small studio or an independent maker, bought and stocked by us, and packed by hand. If you want to know how a piece is made, how big it really is, or whether it will suit a particular person, email admin@mossandfog.com and we will answer from the studio.
