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.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
