ALEXANDER MARSHALLS NATURE COLOURING BOOK (PB)

In 17th century England, Alexander Marshal’s interest in rare plants was stimulated by specimens imported from the Near East and the New World. His florilegium - the only English flower book to survive from the period - contains some of the most beautiful plant studies in botanical art. The 44 illustrations in this colouring book are taken from a copy in The Royal Collection, with full-colour plates shown beside black and white line versions. Pages are printed on thick, high-quality paper to prevent bleed-through.
