I think the author, Alex George, has done an outstanding job with this collection. I enjoyed the introductory remarks about the history and some of the collectors...and enjoyed the short biographies of the artists....rather too many of them seeming to die in poverty. Clearly, the pursuit of a career in botanical painting has not been especially rewarding for most of the people who have pursued it.
