From some of the earliest attempts at art to the plant hunters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the images produced in the study of plants have held a fascination for all those who love nature.   Truly global in its scope, this beautifully illustrated book moves across centuries and continents looking at the artistry of China and India, delving into the sketchbooks of explorers in the Himalayas and following the voyages of those who discovered new worlds and new species as far apart as Russia and South America. Alongside special features on key figures in the botanical art world, Kew: Golden Age of Botanical Art highlights the work of some of the great names of botanical art, including Ehret and Bauer. Included within is a host of rarely published and previously unpublished images from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, as well as an outline on how what might have been a pastime for some also made a significant contribution to our understanding of the world and the glories of nature.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56228000399733,"sku":"9780233005423","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780233005423_de4af1a7-af98-4692-8140-21851336fd4c.jpg?v=1786012325"},{"product_id":"9781529063295","title":"Vegetables","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeautiful and comprehensive, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVegetables\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have for all gardeners, b\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ey acclaimed authors Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Remarkable . . .

Nearly 40% of our population considers themselves to be gardeners, making this and associated activities a national pursuit. And yet, while we hold endless discussions over how to seed, grow, and disseminate our cherished plants, we still known relatively little about how they were collected, exchanged, circulated, identified, and modified, and how much art has shaped our understanding and appreciation of them. This publication, designed to accompany the homonymous exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, explores some of these plant stories through highlights from Oxford’s collections. Bringing together historical and scientific expertise, art and material culture, traditional and contemporary artworks, this book ultimately reflects on the long-lasting impact of flora on our society – and of us on it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369345626485,"sku":"9781910807743","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781910807743_9383fffa-2308-4cb8-943b-4a43345fe3f0.jpg?v=1786029145"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-martyn-rix.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
