We saved one of our favorite #LibraryLeaves for last. These beautiful botanical illustrations from Miller’s Illustratio systematis sexualis Linnæi, published ca.1777, are all painstakingly engraved and breathtakingly hand-colored. (If you think the leaves are spectacular, wait until you see the flowers!)
