Lys de Bray's first book. Wonderful pen and ink and colored illustrations throughout to accompany the descriptions and names of each plant. Very informative and very accurate depictions of each plant. The illustrations meander throughout the text in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 page and full pages. It's as though the plants grow throughout the text. First American Edition, 1978, Mayflower books. Copyright in text and illustrations, Lys de Bray (established botanical artist, Royal Hoticultural Medal for her drawings). Originally published by George Weidenfield and Nicholson Ltd. of London.
