The Illustrated College Herbal
I would like to draw your attention to a recent venture shared with many other botanical artists and the Royal College of Physicians. To celebrate their 500th anniversary the RCP, in collaboration with Gillian Barlow, has produced a beautiful volume recording nearly 200 plants from the Pharmacopoea Londinensis beds of the College Medicinal Gardens.The Illustrated College Herbal features paintings and late medieval woodcuts of nearly 200 plants and is authored by Jane Knowles, Henry Oakeley and Gillian Barlow. I have two paintings featured in the book - the squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium) and the figwort (Scrophularia nodosa).
I attach a flyer for the book, which will be launched on 11th May and the original paintings and limited edition prints will be available to purchase from the artists and will be exhibited in the Council Chamber at the RCP in London from 20–31 August 2018. (Royal College of Physicians, 11 St Andrews Place, London NW1 4LE).

Tradescant's Orchard, the botanical art exhibition at the Garden Museum in Lambeth www.gardenmuseum.org.uk/ is now on! It features fruits that may have been grown in the Tradescant's market garden in Lambeth in the 1600's. It is celebrating the renovation of the museum and the showing of the Tradescant's Orchard portfolio, one of the finest horticultural treasures in the Bodleian Library.
