🌼 Digitalium monographia: Londini: Typis Ricardi et Arthuri Taylor: MDCCCXXI [1821]. Original source Image description: Historical botanical illustration of Digitalis purpurascens (foxglove) featuring multiple upright stems with narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and tubular, bell-shaped flowers that are pale pink with darker speckled throats. A large single leaf is detailed on the left side for clarity. Additional small drawings show close-up views of the flower's internal structure. The style is delicate watercolor on paper, typical of early 19th-century botanical art, with precise scientific labeling and fine linework.
