The herbal encyclopedia

A while ago, my uncle gave me an old herbal encyclopedia. The book is from the year 1934, has the Dutch title 'Kruidenboek' and was written by A.P.Dinand, a biology teacher.

The book mostly contains information about the herbs used in herbal medicine; their history, how to use them and for what physical complaints. But above all, the book contains the most beautiful vintage herbal pictures. I'm not going to tell much about it; just take a look for yourself!

Pen for scale.
