Su questo libro

Recensione:

One of the attractions of this voluminous book is its varying approach to the long and somewhat complex history of botanical illustration going back to the herbals and other illustrated books of antiquity keeping the material fresh and engaging. And all along, there are those handsome, fetching illustrations, especially the color ones. --Henry Berry"

This Splendid volume encompasses the whole of the history of the subject from some of man's earliest representations of plants to the late 20th century, concentrating largely on European works from medieval times on-wards. --Claire Dalby, The Rock Garden 137

L'autore:

Wilfrid Blunt (1901-87) was an art master at Haileybury College and at Eton College, Windsor. On his retirement in 1959 he became Curator of the Watts Gallery, near Guildford, Surrey. Here Blunt devoted most of his time to writing and travel and published some twenty-five books.

William Stearn (b.1911) has had an almost lifelong interest in botanical illustration. His numerous publications include Botanical Latin, Australian Flower Paintings of Ferdinand Bauer, Merian in Surinam, Plant Portraits from the Flora Danica, Flower Artists of Kew and The Orchid Paintings of Franz Bauer.
