As part of our Setting the Record Straight Project, we’ve discovered this pressed lichen amongst the papers of York astronomer, Edward Pigott. The lichen appears to have been pressed at Fontainebleau, while Pigott was detained there between 1803 and 1806 during the Napoleonic wars. #UnusualArchives
