520 "Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, wall
charts were a classroom staple, displaying scientific
images at a large scale, in full color. But it's only now
that they've been superseded as a teaching tool that we
have begun to realize something their ubiquity hid: they
are stunning examples of botanical art at its finest. This
beautifully illustrated oversized book gives the humble
wall chart its due, reproducing more than two hundred of
them in dazzling full color. Each wall chart is
accompanied by captions that offer accessible information
about the species featured, the scientists and botanical
illustrators who created it, and any particularly
interesting or innovative features the chart displays. And
gardeners will be pleased to discover useful information
about plant anatomy and morphology and species
differences. We see lilies and tulips, gourds, aquatic
plants, legumes, poisonous plants, and carnivorous plants,
all presented in exquisite, larger-than-life detail. A
unique fusion of art, science, and education, the wall
charts gathered here offer a glimpse into a wonderful
scientific heritage and are sure to thrill naturalists,
gardeners, and artists alike."--Dust jacket.
