Le jeune botaniste, ou Dialogues familiers sur les plantes
Le jeune botaniste, or Familiar Dialogues on Plants, is an 1835 French children's botany book by Julie Miéville, published by J.J. Risler, presented as conversations between teacher and pupil. Its plates are numbered engravings of plant parts: flowers, leaves, roots, bulbs, seed pods, and fruit, each figure labelled with letters and numbers for reference. A designer could draw on their precise, scientific line drawings, the clear labelling system, and the arrangement of isolated specimens on plain pages.
