Our summer 2017 exhibit at the Old Ordinary is “Isaac Sprague and American Botany: Art, Science, and Agriculture in the 19th Century.” Isaac Sprague, who was born in Hingham, was the pre-eminent botanical illustrator of the mid-19th century–the era when American botany came into its own. Our exhibit includes examples of Sprague’s botanical illustration, studies of the orchard fruits that grew in his hometown 150 year ago, and illustrations he drew for his cousin Fearing Burr’s encyclopedic work on Garden Vegetables of North America. We also display artifacts from the Hingham Agricultural and Horticultural Society and Sprague’s own, paint-splattered easel.
The exhibit’s hours are the same as the Old Ordinary’s: Tuesday through Saturday, with tours at 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30 p.m.
