Included in the directives to Lewis & Clark were instructions to observe and collect specimens of flora and fauna. The notes on the pressing pages included short comments by Meriwether Lewis recording the date of collection and the location. In each rendering, I have tried to convey them in my version of his handwriting.
Included with each etching are short excerts from the journals of various members of the expedition. They are dated from the approximate time of the gathering of the plants.
This framing is recommended for the botanical series. The lip color of the mat will coordinate with the image of each etching.
