Description
In-between the pages of the Register Book recording John Wallis's 'account of the experiment wherein a weight is raised by the blowing of a bladder', some pressed flowers had been kept for some time (as the pressed marks on the page suggest). It is unclear when or why the flowers were placed here. They are now neatly conserved with protective film.
