About This Item
RARE PAPERBACK IMPORT!! I would've listed VERY GOOD, but there are creases on the covers; also, there is yellowing in the area of the end papers; binding tight.
The scientific approach to botanical study is an entirely European concept. Even the accurate observation of specimens was rare in Asia before Western botanists trained Indian and Chinese artists. The theme of this exhibition is the development of the artist as natural historian. It includes a major group of 17th-century Dutch and of 18th-century English watercolours which have taken us several years to put together. There are also fine examples from the period 1790 to 1820 of drawings by Oriental artists working under the supervision of European botanists. The introduction to the catalogue has been written by Gerta Calmann, author of the major monograph on Ehret.
