Description:

This beautiful pocketbook from Kew is a celebration of the carnival of colour and taste that fruit offers.

Part of our everyday lives, full of flavour and arriving in seasonal joy all year round, fruit offers a carnival of colour and taste, as well as fascinating forms and varieties. These delicious plants from around the world are celebrated in this beautiful pocketbook from Kew, with 40 botanical paintings gorgeously reproduced from Kew’s Library and Archives, one of the most extensive botanical libraries in the world.

Kew’s kitchen gardener Hélèna Dove provides an introduction to this plant group, along with detailed captions to accompany each painting, making this a charming keepsake.

The Library 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 pocketbook series from Kew, each book presents 40 botanical paintings from the collections, illustrating the variety within each group, as well as the diversity of the collection and artistic styles.

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