This book is a compilation of several of the masters of botannical illustrations -- and even has a few how-to pointers. I found the stories about the painters interesting the the color plates irresistable. If you seriously like botannical illustration, this one is an excellent addition to your collection
I would just say that the pictures are wonderful, they are botanical paintings/drawings made by different artists in different periods. The text is interesting, the book itself is a true jewel, I highly recommend it because of its perfect quality.The edges of each page are golden, what adds to its charm, giving him an antique look.
Nice cover image. Poor selection on the content and the printing was rendered very cheaply. This book should not be linked with quality botanical books.
got this for my son who is an artist. he does amazing flower collages, he's a graduate of kcai....he loved it...
