About the Item

Set of 8 Books - Nordens Flora Carl Axel Magnus Lindman (* April 6, 1856 in Halmstad, Sweden; † June 21, 1928 in Adolf Fredriks församling, Stockholms län) was a Swedish botanist. His main work is the richly illustrated flora work Bilder ur Nordens Flora (1901-1905). His botanical author abbreviation is “Lindm”. Carl Lindman was the first child of Carl Christian Lindman and Sophie Fredrique Löhr. His father died before his sister was born. His mother moved with the two children to Växjö in 1864, where Carl Lindman attended elementary school. His musical and artistic talent became apparent at an early age. At his mother's request, he decided against an artistic career and studied botany and zoology at Uppsala University from 1874. In 1884 he became a lecturer in botany. Two years later he was awarded a doctorate in philosophy. From 1887, Carl Lindman worked as amanuensis to Anders Fredrik Regnell at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. In the summer he worked at Bergius Botanical Gardens and in the winter as a teacher of natural history and physics at Högre Latinläroverket, a grammar school in Stockholm. Together with Gustaf Malme, he undertook a research trip to Brazil and Paraguay in 1892. After the trip, he resumed his teaching activities. From 1896 to 1900, he taught the sons of the Swedish crown prince (including the future Gustav V of Sweden). During this time he worked on his work Bilder ur Nordens Flora. In 1905 Lindman became Professor of Botany at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, in 1913 a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and in 1914 a member of the Kungliga Lantbruksakademien (Royal Academy of Agriculture). He held this professorship until his retirement in 1923[1] Lindman wrote numerous articles for the second edition and the supplementary volumes of the Nordisk familjeboks under the abbreviation “C. Lmn”. (Source - Wikipedia)
