This handsome, hardcover datebook showcases 61 illustrations by Ehret, all from a rare and important book entitled Plantae Selectae by Christoph Jacob Trew. Plantae Selectae is one of the most exquisite and dramatic of the great botanical works and has even been called the finest ever printed in Germany.
But this engagement calendar is practical, as well as beautiful to look at and it has many touches that add to its usefulness. It’s pages are large enough to provide plenty of room in which to write appointments and reminders, yet it can still be easily slipped into a bag to travel with you. A ribbon marker helps keep your place. Year-at-a-glance calendars for past, present and future make long term planning simple to do. Unlike many engagement calendars today, it has durable hard covers and a cloth-covered spine concealing a spiral wire binding that allows it to lie flat for easy writing. It also has a pocket on the inside back cover to hold important bits of paper.
The New York Botanical Garden engagement calendar includes a listing of events and exhibitions at the Garden in 2003, a bloom schedule, as well as a listing of public gardens throughout the United States. Beyond the purely practical, it also provides a wonderful introduction to the work of Ehret, for those who are not already familiar with it.
It also makes an exceptional gift!
