Reeks PAN - Photographs from Flora Fotografata delle piante piu pregevoli e peregrine di San Remo e sue adiacenze per Francesco Panizzi

1 box, 46cm

The 28 photographs were found in amongst RBGE's 'cuttings collection' - a collection of papers, paintings, photographs and drawings cut from publications and kept together to aid taxonomic work in the Herbarium. In the 1990s(?) this collection was assessed by Henry Noltie who removed all original artwork and photographs to form separate collections such as this one.

The 28 photographs in this series, taken by Pietro Guidi in San Remo, Italy, in the 1870s formed part of the Photographic Flora of San Remo, supervised by local pharmacist Francesco Panizzi. Each photograph has a Latin name, locality and a flowering time and som are hand coloured.

Collection is open to researchers by appointment, see (right click, open link in new tab:) https://www.rbge.org.uk/science-and-conservation/library-and-archives/visiting-the-library/
