Framed Botany Art

Botany is not exactly a new science, with the term being used for the first time in ancient Greece and initially it also included the study of algae and fungi. There are hundreds of thousands of different species to study and that’s why the framed botany posters are so diverse and quite a treat for the eye. Back in the day, in the absence of proper science people resorted to herbalism as they were trying to identify different plants. The challenge was to distinguish between those that were potentially harmful, such as poisonous plants and the ones with beneficial effects and edible ones.

The science gain traction in the 16th century and it made giant leaps forward 200 years later, with Carl Linnaeus establishing the celebrated binomial system. As the study of plants rose to new highs in the last century, the botanist started to use high-tech instruments for classifying the plants with great precision. The framed botany posters are an eclectic mix of colorful images dedicated to various plants and ones focusing exclusively on advanced instruments used by the scientists.
