The book starts by looking at the birth of botanical art, featuring the work of early artists and the herbals they were commissioned to illustrate. Its core is the great age of boatanical illustration, from around 1500 to 1900, when artists such as Ehret and Redoute produced drawings that today are universally recognised as artistic masterpieces in their own right. The last chapter brings the story up yo date, with coverage of the work of the leading botanical artists of the present day.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, compiled by a well known flower painter and gardener, this book shows why the trained hand and practiced eye of a skilled botanical artist is better - and more use to posterity - than the best camera in existence.
It is essential reading and reference, not just for the plant enthusiast, but for all lovers of Nature in the broadest sense of the word.
