Over dit boek
Since ancient times the orchid has been a source of fascination and inspiration - not just for horticulturalists but for artists, writers, historians, and others drawn to their mysterious beauty and unparalleled variety. Collected by one of America's foremost orchid experts, this treasury of fifty antique orchid illustrations offers a cultural history of the flower as well as sublime reproductions by famous botanical artists.
Plates by such renowned botanical illustrators as Lucien Linden and Walter Hood Fitch are accompanied by brief biographies of the artists, making this collection of orchid lore and art a unique addition to the libraries of art lovers, horticulturalists, and collectors of this strangely alluring plant.
