Botanical Prints from Lloyd's Treasures - NEW EXHIBIT

The Lloyd is fortunate to have so many wonderful representative volumes on many types and styles of botanical illustration. They are, in fact, so wonderful, it's really hard to pick a favorite.
That said, we have put together a collection of some of the more interesting and spectacular images from our botanical works here at the Lloyd in a colorful and fun slideshow for our online visitors. We invite you to view the slideshow and enjoy the images from a variety of artists, including Mark Catesby, William Woodville, and Maria Sibylla Merian.
