Title: Laurence Hill - Talk for Linnean Society on YouTube
Post by: Maggi Young on January 23, 2021, 06:03:12 PM: Many will be familiar with the stunning illustrations by Laurence Hill from his Fritillaria Icones website
( http://www.fritillariaicones.com/projects/project.html ) : recently he gave a talk to the Linnean Society ( https://www.linnean.org ) ....

" Our digitally connected world is profoundly image led yet the practice of botanical image making, and types of image commissioned is little changed in several hundred years. Laurence Hill uses examples from the Fritillaria Icones Project, to look at structuring images for online use and wider uses within botanical science and science communication.
