The Institute is in the process of formatting for the Web existing databases of the information contained in its collections and publications. Through the databases, we hope to offer the global community greater access to our information. All Rights Reserved. The collection of botanical art and illustration in the Department of Art at the Hunt Institute is one of the world's largest and most broadly representative. The database was compiled by James J. White with the assistance of Elizabeth R. Smith and published as the Catalogue of the Botanical Art Collection at the Hunt Institute in nine parts from 1985 to 1998.
New information is incorporated into the database as it becomes available.
Users can search by artist's name and nationality, taxon and artwork title. All Rights Reserved. It covers a high proportion of the total complement of structures, characters, and character states pertinent to detailed conventional description of the morphology and higher-level anatomy of plants other than algae. The database contains 2,627 terms with their synonyms, categories, limitations and definitions, and can be searched by one or more of these fields. All Rights Reserved.
