These Vintage Botanical Illustrations Will Have You Gaping in Wonder
A massive archive of 150,000+ public-domain images—covering hundreds of years!—just went online. So, naturally, we scoured it to find the loveliest plant pictures we could.
It’s not every day that 150,000+ vintage illustrations of the natural world go online, free for all to download and use.
