Photo of an academic researcher analyzing an old book containing illustrations of plants. The researcher is in a room where other illustrations and paintings are displayed in the background. The book is placed on top of a large cushion and opened in a page showing drawings of yellow-flowered herbs. The researcher is a woman with long hair, dressed in black, and gazing at the book with her head low.
Playing "spot the difference" while analyzing original and final published versions of the illustrations included in the Flora Batava series.
What is the Flora Batava, you ask? Find out here: historical-citizen-botany.github.io/website/
