"Medieval Botanica" – Postcard


© All Rights Reserved
This week’s Take A Word challenge was "Botanical."

I followed my muse, which took me in the direction of depicting the study of botanica.

The vintage images are from an Internet search.

I found a treasure trove of ancient images at the Oklahoma University History of Science Collections site, which I have added to the list of resources on my blog.
