Flora and Sylva

These vibrant botanical illustrations are hand-colored lithographs from volume 4 of Asa Strong’s  4-volume work The American Flora, published in New York by Green & Spencer between 1850 and 1853, with illustrations by Edwin Whitefield.  The set, part of the donation of important botanical and horticultural books from Lynde Bradley Uihlein, includes nearly 200 hand-colored lithographic plates with extensive taxonomic descriptions for the propagation, culture, and medical use of 444 plants.

Sometimes… there’s more than meets the eye. 👀 You’re looking at two very different takes on an iconic image. ⁣

Human eyes can see only a small portion of the range of radiation given off by the objects around us. We call this wide array of radiation the electromagnetic spectrum, and the part we can see visible light.

In the first image, researchers revisited one of Hubble Space Telescope’s most popular sights: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. Here, the pillars are seen in infrared light, which pierces through obscuring dust and gas and unveil a more unfamiliar — but just as amazing — view of the pillars. ⁣ ⁣ The entire frame is peppered with bright stars and baby stars are revealed being formed within the pillars themselves. The image on the bottom is the pillars in visible light.
