{"product_id":"9781788841085","title":"Art of Botanical Illustration","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis major work, first published in 1950, is still considered the classic book on the subject. It provides a comprehensive, critical and well-illustrated survey of the portrayal of plants across over three thousand years, at a more compact size.   Of the first edition, the poet and gardening writer, Vita Sackville-West said: \"Let no one think this is a book only for the specialist. It is essential for the specialist, certainly, but it is also for all the flower-lovers and all those who enjoy the by-ways of biography and the added attraction of good writing\".   This edition contains 126 colour plates (more than twice as many as the first edition), alongside 140 black-and-white illustrations. It invites the reader to appreciate the works of the greatest botanical illustrators both past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41191504511128,"sku":"9781788841085","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9781788841085.jpg?v=1635166158","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781788841085","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
