1892 - Artist Deborah Griscom Passmore Starts With the USDA

       


The previous post on seed jewelry brought me in contact with an extraordinary botanical watercolor of the Carob pod.  

Signed DG Passmore, and the date of 1904, the illustration prompted me to look for information about the illustrator.  
It was easy-peasey!  

Deborah Griscom Passmore is a widely respected botanical illustrator who left her mark mainly through the many illustrations she did for the USDA. 



Wikipedia gives all the details.



I just want you to enjoy her work in this post.
