Description:

This stunning new series of pocketbooks from Kew offers a snapshot into the diverse and beautiful world of plants. Each book lavishly showcases choice examples from individual plant groups or collections, beginning with the popular plant groups Palms and Cacti.

The Library, Art and Archives at Kew is one of the most extensive botanical libraries in the world, with the oldest item dating back to the 1370s. In this new pocketbook series from Kew, each book presents 40 botanical paintings from the collection, illustrating the variety within each plant group, as well as the diversity of the collection and artistic styles.

An introductory chapter by a Kew expert provides an overview of cacti, and extended captions accompany each painting.

The luxury finish on these books makes them a must-have gift item, printed on uncoated paper and with a cloth and foil finish.
