@minouette There is an exhibit featuring her work (and others) at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin, until around June! I was in awe the whole time.https://www.dhm.de/en/exhibitions/nature-and-german-history-faith-biology-power/

In 1865, she donated her collections to the British Museum.I’ve shown her based on an early photographic portrait, along with some cyanotype fern leaves, much how she illustrated her own specimen.🧵5/5

@minouette oh man, I remember reading about his discovery in a Horrible Science book as a kid.

@minouette Do you start out with a reference drawing?
