Botanical charts are experiencing a resurgence in interest, both as pieces of art and as objects of scientific and historical significance, and The Botanical Wall Chart documents this extraordinary convergence of disciplines that flourished in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Europe was enjoying a golden age of botanical illustration, naturalists were exploring the globe, and there was a calamour for knowledge of the natural world. Intellectual curiosity was no longer limited to the few; education was now considered a right afforded to all, in classrooms across the continent. And thus the botanical wall chart was born, a synthesis of art, science and education. This collection of wall charts from all over the globe, each accompanied by text explaining its historical and botanical contexts, has been put together by botanist Anna Laurent, and will delight anyone with an interest in the natural world.

Extremely BAD PACKAGING
This is a beautiful book. Unfortunately it arrived damaged at the corners of the hard cover. This is the only reason I gave this product 1 star: EXTREMELY POOR PACKAGING.

5.0 out of 5 stars The product is as I imagined. Excellent.

Customers are offered very little insight into the pages as is offered as an option when purchasing books on amazon. I would have liked to have seen a preview of the contents of the book that I was buying beforehand, however, I got the product that I thought I was buying. The images (drawings and paintings of plants and horticulture) are as high quality, detailed, and scientifically oriented as I was hoping for whilst making the purchase. I am not disappointed.

My SO has been getting into botany as a hobby. We are both fascinated by the illustrations we’ve come across in various shops and museums. I went looking for a book like this to gift her. It has beautiful images and was exactly what I was looking for. Great quality, unique topic for you coffee table collection.

I purchased this book for my scientist husband, who enjoys many aspects of science, so I cannot comment on anything but the absolutely lovely illustrations. It's like an art book. If the illustrations were sold as single pages many would be worth framing.

Love the book. I did opt to order this new, yet the bind seem used and the dust cover was a bit beat up. Should have just ordered it used.

This would make a great present for anyone interested in botany and art! You can tell this was a real labour of love for the author. With dozens of full-plate reproductions and informative explanatory text, the book as a whole is as educational and beautiful as the charts themselves.
