An essential reference, this gorgeous book documents the
magnificent botanical prints produced by notable artists of the
17th through the turn of the 20th centuries. Celebrated artists
include Basil Besler, Maria Sybilla Merian, Mark Catesby, Georg
Ehret, George Brookshaw, Robert John Thornton, Pierre Joseph
Redoute, and many others. Illustrated with over 300 full-color
images of original and valuable botanical prints, this book fills a
void in the literature, as few good botanical references remain in
print. The text recounts the fascinating lives and passions of the
artists and their patrons, the technical advances in printmaking,
and the history and cultural influences that shaped the depiction
of flowers, plants, and trees. Also discussed are many variables
affecting the values of original antique botanical prints including
condition, rarity, historical significance, and aesthetic appeal. A
range of prices is included to guide you in your collecting and a
section on framing, displaying, and proper storage makes this an
indispensable reference. A fascinating book for collectors of
botanical prints, gardeners, and those interested in the history of
flowers.
