  Birthdays and anniversaries are never easy to remember. Unless they are stored in one place, it can be necessary to copy them from diary to diary on a yearly basis. This stationery item is a place to keep all your birthdays together and is illustrated with botanical drawings of medicinal plants taken from books by two physicians: William Woodville's Medical Botany (1790-93) illustrated by James Sowerby, the major English botanical artist of his generation, and Ferdinand Vietz's Icones Plantarum (1800-20) with drawings by the accomplished Viennese artist Iganz Alberti.
