5.0 out of 5 stars Treasures of Botanical Art: a wonderful new book, December 26, 2008
By Vera DeGroote (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Treasures of Botanical Art: Icons from the Shirley Sherwood and Kew Collections (Paperback)
This is a wonderful new book from Shirley Sherwood/Kew Gardens collections. It compares a botanical drawing a specific plant (say an Iris) done in the 1800's to one done today. It is fascinating to see both the similarities and the differences. The accompanying text is educational and easy to read. If you love plants and art, this is a good read and a good future resource
