Nehemiah Grew

Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712) "The Father of Plant Anatomy" was the first to depict the inner structures and function of plants in incredible intricacy. ⁠

Currently I am deep in research for a book about a plantsman (nothing to do with Nehemiah Grew) and these illustrations fascinated me . . . including the smiles of stems! But the beauty and detail of the work is sublime
