Drawing on archives of the Victoria and Albert Museum, this book presents some questions including: Throughout history, who has drawn plants, and why? And what do these images say about our relationship with the natural world? It explores a selection of botanic art, including masterworks by Georg Dionysius Ehret and Pierre Joseph Redoute.
