NATURE PRINTING 

   Dan Friedus, in his September 25, 2000 Coin World column, 
   (p70) discusses nature printing on colonial American currency. 
   A quick search on the topic at the Library of Congress 
   (http://www.loc.gov/) turned up two books related to nature 
   printing: 

      Bradbury, Henry [Riley], 1831-1860. 
      Nature-printing: its origin and objects. 
      London, Bradbury and Evans, 1856. 
      28 p. 28 x 22 cm. 

      Bethmann, Laura Donnelly, Nature printing 
      with herbs, fruits & flowers /  Laura Donnelly 
      Bethmann. Pownal, Vt. : Storey Pub., 
      c1996. v, 90 p. : col. ill. ; 27 cm. 

   Your editor seems to recall at least one other book on 
   the topic, titled "Typographica Naturalis"  But recent 
   searches have come up empty.  Can any of our readers 
   provide information on this book - does it exist?
