註釋Nature printing is the name given to the print-making technique in which natural objects provide the surface from which prints are taken – without the interpolation of artist’s interpretation. This technique was developed in the Middle Ages to assist those gathering medicinal plants (the earliest datable nature print dates from 1228) using relatively simple impressions taken from leaves and fruit. By the 17th and 18th centuries, nature printing had developed into a serious scientific process of reproducing plants and was used in building up systematised collections made by and for botanists. During the 19th century the technique also drew on the new photographic technology and then there was a great revival later in the 20th century.
