Linnaeus's own pressed plants, photographed from behind with the light coming through.

Lecture / talkPhotographyScience & nature

At Linnean Society.

The Society holds Carl Linnaeus's herbarium, the sheets of dried plants he named his system from. Lit from below, the paper gives up its watermarks, its folds and the writing on the back, and the colour comes up. A talk on the photographic project, with a drinks reception in the library afterwards, where the pictures are hung. 18:00 to 20:00.
