First published as an oversized clothbound volume in 2009, Botanica
Magnifica has received widespread acclaim from the scientific and
artistic communities. In the words of an ARTnews critic, Singer's
flowers and plants, photographed "in large scale and exquisite
detail, emerge from the shadows in a manner evocative of Old Master
paintings." Now Abbeville is to offer this masterwork of botanical
photography as a pocket-sized hardcover book, in their trademarked
Tiny Folio format. Mirroring the design of the larger edition, this
little volume is organised into five alphabetically arranged
sections: (I) Orchidaceae, presenting the full diversity of
orchids; (II) Florilegium, portraying the complexity and beauty of
flowers; (III) Proteus, illustrating plant forms perfectly adapted
for survival; (IV) Zingiberaceae, a tribute to the fascinating
ginger family and (V) Botanicus, a selection of beautiful and
bizarre specimens from the Smithsonian's research collection. Each
pictured plant is accompanied by a clear and accessible description
of its botany, geography, history, and conservation. With its
marvellous reproductions and fascinating text, the Tiny Folio of
Botanica Magnifica is a charming miniature version of one of the
most impressive volumes of natural history ever published.
