The University of Delaware Library Special Collections announces a new
exhibition "The Art of Botanical Illustration." The exhibition
focuses on botanical books published from the seventeenth through the
twentieth centuries in Europe and the United States. Included are herbals,
works of travel and exploration, commercial seed and nursery catalogs, and
modern works. The material was drawn from the University's Unidel History
of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Collection and other Special
Collection's holdings.
The exhibition is on display at the University of Delaware Library from
February 8 until June 8, 2001. The on-line exhibition can be seen at
