N2  - "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
