The Botanical Wall Chart
Art from the golden age of scientific discovery
ISBN: 9781781573327
(HB - E)
€
A stunning collection of botanical wall charts from around the world, ideal for naturalists, botanists, scientists and all plant-lovers.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Europe was enjoying a golden age of botanical illustration, naturalists were exploring the globe and there was a clamour for knowledge of the natural world. Intellectual curiosity was no longer limited to the few; education was now considered a right afforded to all in classrooms across the continent. And thus the botanical wall chart - a synthesis of art, science and education - was born.
Wall Flower documents this extraordinary convergence of disciplines with a collection of wall charts from all over the globe, each accompanied by expert text explaining its historical and botanical contexts.
Put together by botanist Anna Laurent, this is a book that will delight and fascinate all with an interest in the natural world.
