Nineteenth-century botanical illustration by the renowned Victorian artist James Andrews. The Victorians were passionate about flowers both in their gardens and in their art, leading to a golden age in botanical illustration and the advent of the most superb botanical journals ever published. One of the most beautiful was The Floral Magazine, featuring finely handcoloured stone lithographs, sumptuously reproduced in these pages. Each illustration is accompanied by the original text giving the origins of the flower, advice on its cultivation and sources of supply. A mine of information for garden lovers, but above all a feast for the eyes.
