5.0 out of 5 stars
A genuine treat for tree lovers,
By
This review is from: A Reunion of Trees: The Discovery of Exotic Plants and Their Introduction into North American and European Landscapes (Paperback)
The title pretty much sums up the contents. Essentially a book to commemorate the ca 100 year existence of the Arnold Arboretum, this book contains a wealth of historical material. My personal favorite is the story on the "One Millon Dollar Tree".What the title does not describe is the illustrations. There are a few color photographs, but also some exquisite colored-in line drawings and a lot of historical black&white material in a variety of techniques. Obviously someone resisted the pressure to conform to a preset style and chose those pictures which best fitted the subject, regardless of current fashion. Should be a favourite for tree-lovers everywhere! P.S. The edition I have is the 1990 original, and I don't know the 1995 reprint. |
