Botanical Sketchbooks: (over 500 years of beautiful botanical sketches by 80 artists from around the world, from Leonardo da Vinci to John Muir) Hardcover – May 9, 2017

I am very happy with this book. In fact, I bought a second copy! The research is in depth and the photos of the botanical sketchbooks are clear and beautiful. The book allows the reader access into many historic sketchbooks that we might never see. It provides a glimpse into a time before photography and computers. I enjoy reading about the artists as well as studying their work. Very well written. An excellent addition to your library that you won't regret purchasing.

Just what I wanted. Love the narrative as well as variety in the images. I borrowed it from the library and knew I needed to add it to my studio library.

I ordered this by mistake and absolutely loved it. A beautiful book from a fine tradition of the past. Pages and words from some great explorers and botanists. Well worth the expense for the quiet joy this book has given me.

Beautiful, beautiful book... A delight for artists and plant lovers alike. The reproductions are crisp and clear - and there are lots of them!

Nice book, an interesting compilation; however.

Also, beautiful Book I had discovered through a Library. Very interesting to follow the various artists on their trips.

Beautiful book, in great condition and fast shipping. Thank you!

Great fun, very interesting, and very useful; not the traditional view of this type of work. would appeal to most botanical artists.
