 Detailed Description
Mr Marshal's Flower Book
ISBN 978 1 905686 03 2, hardback, 19 x 15 cm (7½” x 6”)

The exquisite Florilegium of Alexander Marshal is the only surviving example of a flower-book painted by an English artist in the seventeenth century, and is an exceptional work of art. Compiled by season, this publication uses Marshal’s exquisite ‘plant portrait’ watercolours to take the reader on an artistic tour of a year in the garden of a seventeenth-century English horticulturalist; from the crocuses and fritillaries of early sprint to autumnal gourds and Chinese lanterns.

This beautiful gift book will delight garden enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
