Description

Kew Publishing, 2009. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket. Fine/Fine. Scarcely used. Unusually, for a book on botanical art, the sequence of images reflects a evolutionary progression from fungi, algae and mosses through to the most highly evolved groups of angiosperms, now classed as Asterids (though the Rosids deserve parity of billing). Published to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's On the origin of species. The work of 84 artists is featured.
