It provides a comprehensive, critical and well-illustrated survey of the portrayal of plants across over three thousand years, at a more compact size. Of the first edition, the poet and gardening writer, Vita Sackville-West said: \"Let no one think this is a book only for the specialist. It is essential for the specialist, certainly, but it is also for all the flower-lovers and all those who enjoy the by-ways of biography and the added attraction of good writing\". This edition contains 126 color plates (more than twice as many as the first edition), alongside 140 black-and-white illustrations. It invites the reader to appreciate the works of the greatest botanical illustrators both past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Acc Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46289648189591,"sku":"9781788841085","price":4381.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788841085.webp?v=1767700372","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/art-of-botanical-illustration-9781788841085","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
