Marianne North was a remarkable Victorian traveller and painter,
who traversed the globe recording the world's flora with her
paintbrush and writing her experiences in her journal. In 1879 she
offered her painting collection numbering over 800 to the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew, and at her own expense built a gallery to
house them. Marianne stayed closely involved with the project,
painting beautiful decorative motifs on the interior door panels
and surrounds. For the first time, this unique and stunning book
brings together all of Marianne North's Kew collection. The
paintings are arranged geographically as they appear in the
Gallery, and Marianne's original titles are included alongside each
painting. With an introduction by Christopher Mills, former Head of
Kew's Library, Art and Archives. This is a beautiful gift souvenir
in celebration of a stunning body of work.
