John Parkinson's 1629 London herbal and gardening manual, printed by Humfrey Lownes and Robert Young, is a plant compendium for English gardeners covering flowers, kitchen herbs, and orchard trees. Its pages are framed woodcut plates of plants with numbered keys beneath, drawn with stylised leaves and blossoms in a pale, slightly coloured tint that a designer could borrow for botanical pattern, labelling, or heritage layouts.
