A page of hand set, hand printed letterpress type, spelling out in Latin the Taxonomy of the Common British Oak, Quercus robur. Using old wooden and lead type faces, red, green and black inks, this is of historical and botanical interest. It would be a useful addition to the biology classroom perhaps, demonstrating the hierarchy of classification as developed by Linnaeus in the 18th century.
