Can someone please give me a source for this, it can be a website, a book etc., as long as I can find a large collection, thanks. This is the best subreddit I could find since, as far as I know, these are made for scientific purpose.

Missouri Botanical Garden Press has lots of these kinds of prints for sale for pretty reasonable prices.
Check out the [Shirley Sherwood](https://shirleysherwood.com) collection if you haven’t already.
Edit: Maybe I didn’t make it clear but I do not want to buy something, just to find an archive of illustrations, PDF books etc.
If you go to unsplash.com and search for botanical art, there are posted collections from the New York Public Library, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and Europeana, as well as collections curated by individual artists.
Find your nearest botanic garden’s, herbarium’s, or natural history museum’s library and archive. Your local public librarian can probably direct you to one.
Here’s Edinburgh’s, for example
