The golden age of flowers : botanical illustration in the age of discovery 1600-1800
Fisher, Celia2013
Book
The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries witnessed a surge in the study of and interest in botanicals that produced some of the greatest books of plant illustration ever made, including such outstanding examples as the Hortus Eystettensis, work by Maria Sybilla Merian, Thornton's Temple of Flora, Banks's Florilegium, and Sibthorpe's Flora Graeca. Culled from these masterpieces of botanical art, this lavishly illustrated new book reproduces over one hundred of the most beautiful flower images from this period.
