More than three centuries after Maria Sibylla Merian established
herself as a scientific trailblazer-and after more than two
centuries of obscurity-the work of this pioneering naturalist and
artist is being rediscovered. Merian's work, The New Book of
Flowers, raised the artistic standards of natural history
illustration. Published in 1675, the book employed impeccable
botanic accuracy with artistic expression. In it, Merian moved away
from traditional methods that favored single illustrations and
instead composed her studies to explore the relationships between
flowers and insects. This poster book draws its nearly two dozen
illustrations from The New Book of Flowers. Exquisitely reproduced,
each illustration reveals the exacting detail and luminous colors
that are the hallmark of Merian's work. Perfect for close study as
well as decoration, this treasury of botanical delight will help
brighten any room-and inspire anyone drawn to the beautiful world
of flowers.
This collection of nearly two dozen detachable, frameable,
propaganda posters offer an outstanding selection of examples from
East Germany, Russia, Southeast Asia, and China. Reproduced in
startling color and printed on high-quality paper, they offer
fascinating historical insight, as well as sublime examples of how
graphic art can be both highly effective as well as visually
stunning. The Russian October Revolution of 1917 marked the
beginning of decades of communist rule that spanned large parts of
the world. For many years and in many countries, the most reliable
means of spreading state propaganda was through posters like the
ones included in this beautiful collection. Distinguished by their
bold, bright colors, and generally featuring one or two main
figures or a single forceful image, they were ubiquitously
plastered on the walls of factories, farms, office buildings,
transportation centers, and public squares. They exhorted citizens
to proclaim their patriotism through hard work, exercise, and
loyalty, and celebrated technological advances in science, space
travel, and architecture. Representing an impressive array of
styles, cultures, and historical eras this collection is suitable
for walls and coffee tables alike.

Filled with Gaudi's whimsical designs, this sticker book lets kids
flex their creative muscles in the style of one of the world's
favorite architects. Antoni Gaudi is among history's most
recognized and beloved architects. His masterpiece, the
still-uncompleted Sagrada Familia basilica of Barcelona, is one of
the most visited monuments in Spain. But this Catalonian architect
is especially inspiring to children, who marvel at the
nontraditional forms he employed in his buildings and designs.
Using pages of colorful stickers to inspire learning and
creativity, this entertaining book will encourage young readers to
build their own Gaudi-like creations while teaching them much about
the architect's life and accomplishments."
