Photo. A book, Apawthecaria, with a folded map leafed into its pages. The cover shows a mouse and a pigeon standing on top of a wooden table in a beam of warm light, reading from a book filled with hand drawn illustrations of plants. The mouse holds up a pestle taller than itself, and around the two animals are plucked flowers, large brass scales, a block of wax, closed books, and other potion making apparatus.

Image. A repeating pattern of a swamp, with a snake as a feature spot illustration on top of it.
Photo. 5 illustrated postcards featuring patterns from the book Apawthecaria. The cards are themed; red for mountain, featuring a fox glancing at a stout and mouse; yellow for meadows; green for forests; blue for lakes; and purple for bogs.
Photo. A sticker sheet from the Apawthecaria Deluxa bundle. There are 7 differently shaped stamps with die-cut franking around their edges, so that each stamp peels to look like a realistic stamp. The stamps feature natural elements, like moth wings and pressed flowers, as if they were made by animals for a beastly postal service.
