This Handbook illustrates a selection of drawings of flowers from
the collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum. The book is arranged
chronologically and ranges from the fifteenth century to the
present day. Beginning with illustrations from the borders and
backgrounds of illuminated manuscripts, the selection traces the
form through attempts at accurate delineation of form during the
Renaissance to the more scientific approach of the later
seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It concludes with
several contemporary examples of flower drawings to show that the
tradition continues. The illustrations bring out the stunning
detail and colour characteristic of the art-form.
