Playing "spot the difference" while analyzing original and final published versions of the illustrations included in the Flora Batava series.

What is the Flora Batava, you ask? Find out here: historical-citizen-botany.github.io/website/

Photo of an academic researcher analyzing an old book containing illustrations of plants. The researcher is in a room where other illustrations and paintings are displayed in the background. The book is placed on top of a large cushion and opened in a page showing drawings of yellow-flowered herbs. The researcher is a woman with long hair, dressed in black, and gazing at the book with her head low.
