🎨 Roland Thaxter sketch book, Original source Image description: Hand-drawn scientific sketches in Roland Thaxter’s sketchbook dated Winter 1886-7, depicting various fungal spores and structures. The page is divided into six sections, each labeled with identification numbers (S.65 to S.70) and accompanied by handwritten notes describing morphology, measurements, and habitats. Illustrations include spore clusters, stalks, and detailed cellular formations, some partially colored in brown ink. The drawings show both microscopic and macroscopic views of fungal samples, with descriptive text noting locations such as Cambridge, D.C., and Kittery, Maine. The overall presentation reflects meticulous scientific observation and botanical study from the late 19th century.
