About This Item
British Museum Publications, 1979. 1st edition. Paper covers. Fine/Fine. The book is well illustrated with both colour and monochrome photographs, and covers all forms of art except oil paintings. The authors examine the three main motives for painting flowers: scientific curiosity, delight in decoration, and a desire to express artistic ideals. The chapter on 'Art and Botany' is particularly informative. Paul Hutton was Deputy Keeper of the dept. of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum; Lawrence Smith was Keeper of Oriental Antiquities at the same institution. x, 150 pp.
