Thomas Moore was a former Curator of the Chelsea Physic Garden in Chelsea, London and The Field Botanist's Companion was published during his time there. The plants are place in 'Seasonal' order [ie. practical for remedies], rather than alphabetically or physiologically arranged, .. The pages of the original are and I have partially corrected this by taking some saturation out of Y and O channels, while at the same time raising brightness levels to overcome the darkness of the old pages. The pages of this book also seem to have been particularly grubby and marked through usage [perhaps as a practical book in daily medicinal use?] and I have attempted to digitally clean the blank page areas, though not always 100% effectively. Although page blank areas could be flood-filled with white the other way of getting a clean white background would be to clone stamp, or similar, and layer onto a pure digital white, tweaking the edge settings as you might do when working with hair photography. The letters A, B, C, D appear on most images in this batch and refer to image placement on the page; each being divided into 4 plant species blocks. Occasionally 5 or 6 plant species [like thin grasses] appear on a page. Any numerals relate to plant parts mentioned in the book's text.
