The Metamorphosis of Flowers

First edition.

Translated from the French by Ben Lifson.
"The development of nearly twenty species of wildflowers is caught on film using macrophotography, which produces a remarkably clear, larger-than-life, stop-action image. From the bud brimming with nectar and the unfolding of petals to the beauty of full bloom and then, after fading and shrinking, the fall of the corolla, the photographs reveal flowers as they have never been seen before."

Dustjacket in very good condition with only general light rubbing, a little shelf wear at spine and a couple of lightly bumped corners. There is minimal foxing to inside of dustjacket.
The covers are dark green board with the title in silver along the spine. Light bumping of corners.
The text is very clean and crisp with no annotations. A giftcard has been attached to the front pastedown endpaper. It is in-keeping with the style of the book and has no inscription inside.
The photographs are in excellent condition and are just breath-taking. Most are full page and some foldout. "A special eight-page section printed on translucent paper allows readers to behold the evolution of a bright red poppy moment by moment."

We are happy to provide additional photos and information on request.
