Collecting Plants

Herbarium Caspar Ratzenberger by Kritzolina

Undoubtedly, the study of plants is an important field of scientific research. For a long time, the herbarium was the most important tool for botanists seeking to categorize the diversity of nature.

Even in the age of digital archives, these collections, and especially the accompanying drawings, which often reveal an artistic touch through their concise representation, continue to fascinate.
