By Carol Belanger Grafton
Visually compellling and highly detailed Victorian era engravings of flowers and plants. 344 handsome and botanically accurate wood engravings selected from two classic Victorian publications: Paxton's Flower Garden and The Natural History of Plants.
Includes exquisite renderings of a broad spectrum of plant forms: baobab tree, quaking grass, winged pea, and many other unusual plants. Each illustration is accompanied by an identifying caption that provides the scientific name and a brief description of the plant, its native region, and if it is a flower, the colour of the blossoms.
