There is an amazing exhibition where I live (Belgrade), so I made some photos for you. It’s entitled “Serbian medicine through centuries”.
This particular photo shows our very first medical document, Medical codex of Hilandar (a copy, of course) with some traditional herbs.
St Sava collected various texts across the Arabic world and Europe about how to organize monastery hospitals, how to treat patients, but also how patients themselves could help the monks treating them. It was very modern for the time because it tried to eradicate all medical misconceptions, so called natural cures, especially superstition.

To suspend flowers in the cubes, work in layers: Fill an ice tray (one that makes large cubes so the ice will last longer) a quarter of the way with water, add flowers facing down, and freeze. Add more water to fill halfway, and freeze. Fill to the top, and freeze again. 
For ice that’s especially clear, use distilled water that has been boiled and then cooled. This limits impurities and air bubbles, which make ice cloudy. 
Use only edible flowers, such as orchids, nasturtiums, pansies, and snapdragons, that have been grown to be eaten (to ensure they haven’t been treated with chemicals). (via)

You got it: Yeah, if someone is proud they don't use "reference" to do artwork, they must not have much else to be proud about...

This. The greatest artists and illustrators used photo reference. Not a little, but A LOT. Norman Rockwell was notoriously slow because he insisted on shooting…
