I found another treasure yesterday.
Rare Treasures from the Library of the Natural History Museum.
DO NOT ROLL YOUR EYES!
It is NOT just a book.
It is a book of art about art in a box with art. JACKPOT!
There are thirty-six , 10 x 13 prints of famous paintings.
I have studied many of these works for years in my reading about plant hunters and their rare finds.
I feel like I have the whole world in my hands.
And now they are MINE…ALL MINE!
There are enough prints in here to cover every wall in this house with beauty.
Art with a story behind it.
The who, the what, the when and the where.
AND…
It cost $19.95.
SEE…. I did win the lottery. Sort of.

Wow…are you going to frame them and do a wall of them? I am so attracted to botanical prints. I have a Pinterest board where I collect them. I was tempted to by a real one of an Abutilon I found on line but it was $75. A whole box that is a real find. : )

They are by famous artists, too. Not just paint by numbers and mass-produced. I am bothered by inaccurate botanicals. (OCD)
They are on card-stock-like paper, so they are really frame worthy. I am thrilled, as you can tell.
The book gives the history of each.
TREASURE!!!!!

Nice find indeed! I recently read a book about the first plant hunters who were out collecting for the Kew Gardens. Fascinating stories… We have it easy these days when all we have to do is snap a photo. 🙂
