An exciting collection of some of the Society's best and lesser known treasures.

Spanning centuries, the Linnean Society of London’s collections and library are home to many ‘firsts’, as well as numerous unique items of scientific importance, and a plethora of stunning illustrations, plates and original drawings. For the first time, a selection of these items are being showcased in our own book of ‘treasures’, L: 50 Objects, Stories and Discoveries from The Linnean Society of London.

Now with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough, this updated second edition takes a dive into the collections housed in our home on Piccadilly. From the vasculum Charles Darwin used to collect plants during his voyage on the HMS Beagle…to the first ‘photographic’ book by Anna Atkins…to the world’s first spherical cultured pearls, there is much to explore in L: 50 Objects, Stories and Discoveries from The Linnean Society of London.

Curators, researchers, archivists, librarians and Fellows have chosen 50 iconic objects, stories and discoveries—items that tell the story of the study of natural history through the ages, and the intriguing story of the Society itself.

"L: 50 Objects… is an attractive, illustrated window into the Linnean Society, the treasures in its collections and some of its past activities. A delectable medley…" E. Charles Nelson, Archives of Natural History
