Description

Discover the wonders of the natural world with this beautiful collection of botanical paintings from around the globe.

The opening of the 19th 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 and painting 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 centre 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.
