History of Botanical Art
In the early 19th century, casual flower pressing in America was limited to flowers and leaves placed between the pages of a book or bible, often as mementos of family events. As an art form, its roots are Japanese and centuries old. But it wasn't until commercial trade expanded to Japan in the mid 1800's, that it captured our Western imaginations and became a favorite pastime of Victorian ladies.
