FOLK ART HERBARIUM TREES & FERNS of NYC - HOMEMADE SCRAPBOOK
Item #744
7.5" x 9.75" Composition book made into an Herbarium, featuring trees and ferns from New York City. Written on the cover is "Trees - Leon Moses," and on the first page it says "Trees of New York City & Ferns of N.Y.C." A quick Google search, brings up two possible men named Leon Moses. One was born in 1913 and lived in the Bronx and the other is a more well-known Leon Nathan Moses, an Economist, who was born in New York City in 1924. The book is not dated, but appears to be from the 1930s, more or less. There are about 50 double-sided pages and most have one or more specimen pasted to the page. All are identified in ink on the page. A handful of specimens are loose from the page, otherwise this Herbarium scrapbook is in good condition.
