This stunning series of pocketbooks from Kew offers a snapshot into
the diverse and beautiful world of plants. Each book lavishly
showcases choice examples from individual plant groups or
collections, and this new title showcases Japanese plants, from
chrysanthemums, to cherry blossom, camellia and maples. Published
to coincide with the new Japan festival at Kew Gardens in October
2020. The Library, Art and Archives at Kew is one of the most
extensive botanical libraries in the world, with the oldest item
dating back to the 1370s. In this pocketbook series from Kew, each
book presents 40 botanical paintings from the collection,
illustrating the variety within each plant group, as well as the
diversity of the collection and artistic styles. An introductory
chapter by a Kew expert provides an overview of the plant group or
theme, and extended captions accompany each painting. The luxury
finish on these books make them a must-have gift item, printed on
uncoated paper and with a cloth and foil finish.
