Botany, Gardening, and Florilegia

This category includes old works on botany, gardening, and plant science published before 1945. It contains herbaria, plant atlases, florilegia, dendrological studies, and books dedicated to useful, ornamental, and medicinal plants. Many copies feature original engravings, chromolithographs, and botanical illustrations valued by collectors.

A special place is held by publications documenting the development of botany in the 19th and first half of the 20th century, including scientific works, academic textbooks, and editions popularizing knowledge about the plant world. Among the offered books, you can find studies on trees and shrubs, exotic plants, medicinal plants, ornamental gardens, fruit growing, and the history of gardening.

For collectors, particular value is presented by first editions, rare Polish works, illustrated editions, and copies preserved in original publisher bindings. Old botanical atlases and florilegia today belong to the most sought-after natural history books, combining scientific value with high artistic qualities.

This category is aimed at bibliophiles, lovers of the history of science, collectors of old natural history illustrations, and all those interested in botany, gardening, and natural heritage.
