Originally published: London : Collins, 1950.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 333-343) and index.
"This major work, first published in 1950, is still
considered the classic book on the subject. 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 colour 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"--Publisher's
