Australia: 300 Years of Botanical Illustration
by Helen J. Hewson
This finely crafted and beautifully presented book gives a magnificent overview of the way in which Australian plants have been depicted over the past three centuries. It is the first time that three centuries of botanical art have been brought together in one volume, providing a unique insight into the relationship between art and science. It describes the collection and classification of plants for science, as well as the establishment of botanic gardens, herbaria, and publications within the country. Intertwined with this is the history of the art of illustrating plants and of the methods of reproducing those illustrations.... with 160 colour illustrations drawn from major herbaria and museums in both Europe and Australia. The Publisher.
