Album of American Wildflower Drawings

Margaret Neilson Armstrong

1909–14 · Pen and ink and graphite · Drawings and Prints

This album contains pen and ink drawings, many of which were reproduced in "Field Book of Western Wildflowers." Armstrong wrote the latter book in consultation with botany professor John James Thornber, and it was published in 1915 by G. P. Putnam's Sons. On most sheets, Armstrong noted where and when she found the flowers (some inscriptions were trimmed when the group was bound).
