A compact editionof Joseph Banksextraordinary botanicalengravings of floradiscovered on CaptainCooks first voyage.
Joseph Banks accompanied Captain Cook on his first voyage around the world from 1768 to 1771. A gifted and wealthy young naturalist, Banks collected exotic flora from Madeira, Brazil, Tierra del Fuego, the Society Islands, New Zealand, Australia, and Java, bringing back over 1,300 species that had never been seen or studied by Europeans. On his return, Banks commissioned over 700 engravings. Known collectively as Banks Florilegium, they are some of the most precise and exquisite examples of botanical illustration ever created.Joseph Banks FlorilegiumJoseph Banks Florilegium
