      CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 16--The University of Virginia Library has
published
"Jefferson and the Natural World," a portfolio set of six limited-edition
prints of watercolor
drawings by botanical artist Margaret Stones.  The drawings of living
specimens of bloodroot,
Carolina silverbell, pinxter azalea, redbud, and twinleaf collected from the
grounds of Monticello
and the University of Virginia were commissioned for the commemoration of the
250th
anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson.
      Proceeds from the sale of the 500 portfolio sets, priced at $1,000
each, will benefit a
planned new building for the University's special collections.  The portfolio
set was designed by
Roderick Stinehour and produced by Stinehour Press of Lunenburg, Vermont.
