- catalog description "Jacob Bigelow (Harvard University, A.B. 1806 and University of Pennsylvania, M.D. 1810) taught at Harvard Medical School from 1815-1855. With Dr. Francis Boott he began work on a flora of New England but this project was given up. From 1817-1820 he published American medical botany for which he drew many of the plates and devised the means of reproducing them through a color aqua-tint process. A revised edition of the Florula bostoniensis published in 1824 marks the end of Bigelow's period of greatest botanical activity. Bigelow was appointed Rumford Professor of the Application of Science to Useful Arts at Harvard from 1816-1827 and published his Elements of technology in 1829. In addition, Bigelow played a major role in the establishment and design of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge.".
