Erbario Letterario is a collection of plants and flowers cut by hand in linocut and associated with a piece of poetry or literature set in movable type. The illustrations on paper elevate the buds and leaves to a status of eternal flowering, creating a conceptual short circuit with the classic herbarium, a hymn to the eternal beauty of nature combined with the immortality of the writings of great authors.
