The second is an example of an actual pressed specimen of Dog Rose. This is called a herbarium specimen, and it was collected in Bourton, Dorset on 28 June 1919.

The botanical collections are of both scientific and historical importance and are used as a reference tool by experts all over the world. Read more about the Botany collections at World Museum Liverpool here.
