Royal Horticultural Society 2016 Diary

The RHS Pocket Diary 2016 showcases the work of Dutch artists held in the RHS's world famous Lindley Library. These include works from an album 'Flores a Petro Holsteyn ad vivum depicti' (c.1634-73) by the artist Pieter Holsteyn the younger. Other works include those by August Wilhelm Sievert (active 1720s-40s) from an album titles 'Hortus florum imaginun' dating from c.1730 and watercolors by Pieter van Kouwenhoorn, dating from c.1630s. This week-to-view diary is illustrated in color throughout and includes an internal storage pocket.

The RHS Lindley Libraries hold several collections of drawings made by Asian artists, whether made for the export market to Europe, commissioned by British officials, or, in recent times, made by amateur and professional artists for exhibition and sale in the international market for botanical art. This diary contains examples from some of these collections.
