“The Golden Age of Botanical Art” by Martyn Rix is a magnificent and beautifully illustrated book, in lovely condition, that explores the evolution of botanical illustration from the 16th to the 20th century. It is a period when science and art merged to document the plant world in an age before photography. The book features the work of celebrated illustrators, such as Maria Sibylla Merian, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Georg Dionysius Ehret, and Margaret Mee.
