Treasures of Botanical Art: a wonderful new book
Customer Rating:
This is a wonderful new book from Shirley Sherwood/Kew Gardens collections. It compares a botanical drawing a specific plant (say an Iris) done in the 1800's to one done today. It is fascinating to see both the similarities and the differences. The accompanying text is educational and easy to read. If you love plants and art, this is a good read and a good future resource
