A stunning collection of botanical paintings from all around the world, beautifully reissued since its first publication in 2016, and perfect for anyone with a love of plant life and illustration.
A stunning collection of botanical wall charts from all around the world, ideal for naturalists, botanists, scientists and anyone with a love of plant life.
The opening of the nineteenth century ushered in an age of unprecedented scientific discovery and artistry. As the development of the microscope allowed scientists access to a previously unimaginable world in miniature, and naturalists travelling the globe sent home reports of weird and wonderful species, there was a growing desire for knowledge of the natural world.
Through the medium of popular botanical wall charts, botanical drawing was able to bring this new area of exploration out of the elite salons and universities and into classrooms and homes.
This book is a celebration of these botanical wall charts, and the fantastic convergence of art and science they represent. With the artworks taking center stage, accompanied by text that gives insight into the historical, botanical and artistic context, this unique collection will delight and fascinate botanists, devotees of beautiful vintage illustration, and all with an interest in the natural world.
