Rob Kesseler
Botanizing the Library
4 October – 27 November 2004
Botanizing the Library celebrates the flora of
Folkestone and the work of past Folkestonians, Henry Ullyett and Jocelyn
Brooke, renowned for their knowledge of local plants. The project unites
artefacts and ephemera in the Library together with microscopic images
of pollen taken from the Museum's specimens and photographed on a scanning
electron microscope. You can see images of pollen in the Heritage Room,
explore a display of the Museum’s botanical specimens and you can
collect a monthly series of bookmarks from the Library and Ottakars Bookshop,
as well as a limited edition book in which all the intriguing and beautiful
botanical fragments are brought together like pressed flowers.
