A boxed notecard set featuring beautiful prints of medicinal plants

Healing Plants features sixteen hand-colored plates from Elizabeth Blackwell’s A Curious Herbal (173739). Blackwell, a talented artist with a passion for the natural world, published her herbal as a means of financial support after her husband landed in debtor’s prison, and it quickly became a valuable reference for doctors and apothecaries. These notecards-featuring plants like aloe, chamomile, and St. John’s Wort-are the perfect stationery for herbalists and all lovers of botanical illustration.
