Description: | IV Numbered and signed by the artist: "AP II/III Chrstine Borland 2002" CRE BORLAND, Christine; (Scottish; born 1965) This is the 1st plate (of 10) from Borland's 'Herbal', which was inspired by research in Glasgow University Library. The images were selected from a 16th century text by Leonhart Fuchs, his History of Plants (1551). According to the artist it is the earliest work on plants that can properly be called scientific. It was illustrated with copper plate etchings which were coloured by teams of women and children. Borland's title for this series of prints gives prominence to the individuals whose contribution was left unacknowledged in the original publication. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION : MEDICINE : FUCHS, LEONHART : HAND COLOURED PRINT : CONCEPTUAL ART : HERBAL : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
