In the earliy years of the 20th century, intrepid Western
plant explorers were sent to 'exotic' lands to gather
economically useful plants and seeds. Botanical and
Cultural Images of Eastern Asia, 1907-1927, is the
digitized collection of Eastern Asian photographs taken by
some of the plant explorers commissioned by the Arnold
Arboretum of the Harvard University. The database features
images of plants, people, and landscapes as were seen and
recorded by the explorers: John George Jack (1861–1949),
Ernest Henry Wilson (1876-1930), Frank Nicholas Meyer
(1875-1918), William Purdom (1880–1921), Joseph Hers
(1884–1965), and Joseph Charles Francis Rock (1884–1962).
