Botany for young people. How plants behave: how they move, climb, employ insects to work for them, &c
Botany for young people, a late nineteenth-century American textbook by the botanist Asa Gray, published in New York in 1872 by the American Book Company to explain how plants move, climb and use insects. The pictures are fine line engravings of single flowers, leaves and tendrils, drawn with clear outlines and cross-hatched shading on a cream ground, with numbered parts and small detail views that a designer could borrow for diagrammatic botanical motifs.
