"The long tradition of botanical illustration finds its tribute in this book, whose first issue coincided with the exhibition of botanical illustration at the National Library of Vienna. TASCHEN has chosen 100 works from the library's extensive archives to be reproduced in this masterpiece of botanical book illustration. Beginning with 6th-century Byzantine manuscripts, it traces the tradition right up through recent publications of the 20th century. With positively exquisite color reproductions, this is truly a divine book." - Jacket blurb. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Heavy/oversize book.
