Description
Swiss husband and wife team Arnold and Carolina Dodel-Port created this illustration for their Dodel-Port Atlas, an atlas of botany for school students. Both botanists (Arnold at the University of Zurich), together they made many new discoveries about the plants they were studying. They wrote to Charles Darwin, who said that Carolina’s drawings showed information about plants in a 'wonderfully clear manner'.
