This review is from: Artes de Mexico # 30. Metepec y su arte en barro / The Nineteenth-Century European Traveler (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I was looking for a comprehensive book on trees of life with alot of photos identifying the many styles by the various artists from the past to the present. Instead there where very few photos and alot of essay. It is more of an article than a book on trees of life.
