RHS Lindley Collections Online - Botanists and Beards

Join RHS Libraries each month as we spotlight treasures and stories from the RHS Lindley Collections with our series of free online talks.

In June we are stepping back in time to the Victorian era as we delve into our early photography collections. Discover the portrait photography which dominated the late 1800s, with our unique carte de visites.

These calling cards depict prominent Victorian gardeners, nurserymen, and other famous figures of the time. Plus, explore the impressive assemblage of facial hair styles captured within the collection.
