NYBG Collection Precieuse Shopping Organizer

Shop in style with this gorgeous shopping organizer! The brilliant images of flowers on the front and back covers are from Collection Precieuse et Enluminée des Fleurs, a rare work of botanical art published in Paris in 1776 by the prolific naturalist Pierre-Joseph Buc’hoz. Chinese artists created the original illustrations, which were then engraved and hand colored in Paris. The result is a collection of images with a unique and utterly charming flavor—a distinct mix of East and West.

The shopping organizer is a convenient carry-along size, with a notepad of 40 lined sheets and a coupon file with 6 accordion pockets. There is a holder for your pen or pencil, and an elastic closure to keep everything together.

The illustrations are from the Rare Book Collection of the Mertz Library here at the Botanical Garden.
