Beautifully produced compendium of Brit-flora watercolors..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This atmospheric book preserves a classically British place and time -- country Great House, 19th century. Ladies of sensitivity and breeding painted watercolors (oils were for "serious" male artists). These 2 generations worth of works are reproduced finely enough for framing the larger examples. Backgrounds are age-yellowed; the drafting, composition, and coloration are impressive for unknown amateurs (again, ladies were considered charming dabblers). The cover (printed same as the shiny DJ, with a bit of an incongruous linen-texture finish that will nevertheless wear well) is done in fancy marbled paper/leather-tipping simulation -- a great "old time" look for the country decorated sunroom table, etc. Nice peek into a bygone era!
