Description:
Text French/English. Manuscripts belonging to the Jussieu family, professors of botany at the Jardin du Roy and subsequently at the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle from 1710 until 1853, were acquired by the
Museum in 1858. The documents include 98 colour plates of mushrooms
prepared around 1730 by Claude Aubriet (ca. 1665-1742) under the direction of Antoine de Jussieu (1686-1758). Claude Aubriet, painter and miniaturist at the Jardin du Roy, is
known for his illustrations in the Elémens de botanique published by Joseph Pitton de
Tournefort (1656-1708) in 1694. Colour illustrations of fungi from this period are rare
