    Exhibition / Festival

Discover this online exhibition exploring the wonders of nature printing – a fascinating printing technique that uses pressed plants to recreate an image of the plant on the page.

Bringing together beautiful plant self-portraits from the RHS Lindley Collections, Portrait from Nature traces the development of nature printing from ancient botanical prints through to the sophisticated printing processes of the 19th century.
