 | | The National Agricultural Library and local gardener and sculptor, John Jayson Sonnier, have teamed to mount an exhibition featuring stone botanical sculptures paired with companion prints from the National Agricultural Library's Rare Book collection. From 18th and 19th century illustrations to modern sculptures, visitors will observe an engaging medley of botanical subjects rendered in two distinct media. The following are images of prints and sculptures on display now at the National Agricultural Library. |
