This review is from: DRAWN FROM NATURE: The Botanical Art of Joseph Prestele and His Sons (Paperback)

I have been looking for some etching images of flowers to practice some pen and ink drawing. It is hard to tell what is in some of the books that I have looked at but I decided to take a chance. I love this book. It is filled with great images and some additional information about the artists as well. Excellent for botanical artists and very useful as well. LOVE this book.
