Description
French Royal Botanical Gardens research, 17th-18th century. The 'Jardin des plantes' was founded in Paris, France, in 1626, though the medicinal herb garden was not planted until 1635. It was originally known as the 'Jardin du Roi'. By the 1690s, the team of experience botanists working here under Guy-Crescent Fagon included Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, Antoine de Jussieu, Antoine Laurent de Jussieu and Adrien-Henri de Jussieu. This illustration is by French artist Sebastien Leclerc (1637-1714).
