This program is truly lovely + supportive, with some of the best people around involved. I would literally die to do this (and am working on a similar theme for multiple projects at the moment!). Paging #envhum #histSTM folks, plant + fungi people, etc.

Phantom Bouquets: Two Books on the Art of Skeleton Leaves (1864)
These two treatises detail the art of leaf preservation through “skeletonization”.
