A Serious Botanical Reference with Serious Visual Appeal
This 1973 hardcover edition of Wild Flowers is a beautifully produced botanical reference featuring full-colour engravings by Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Basilius Besler, and other celebrated botanical artists. Text by Matthias Hermann, translated into English by Grace Jackman. Published by Galahad Books, New York, under licence from Editions Minerva S.A., Genève, and printed in Germany.
Praised as both a complete catalogue for the botanist and an excellent reference for flower lovers — it holds up on both counts.
