FLORA OF LOUISIANA ~ Margaret Stones ~ Watercolor Drawings ~ HCDJ ~ 1991 1st/1st

Description: FLORA OF LOUISIANA Watercolor Drawings by Margaret Stones 1991First Edition / First Printing "To the botanist, the great value of Stone's work is its scientific correctness. The ability to maintain absolute accuracy while creating a work of art is a skill that few botanical illustrators have perfected. The scientific monographs and botanical journals in which this artist's work has been published demand a high standard of faithfulness to the structure of the illustrated plant. This has been achived by Stones without diminishing the artisitic quality of the drawings." "One of the great accomplishment of the artist's distinguished career is the 224 drawings of the fascinating flora of Louisiana, whose combination of temperate and subtropical elements is well represented by these drawings." "The publication of this volue will enable many more people to learn about the important collection of botanical art Stones has probided for Louisiana." "Each illustration is accompanied by a short text describing the plant and presenting details about habitat, growing conditions, and so on. This information provides a useful, permanent supplement to the drawings and will increase their interest to botanists and other admirers of Margaret Stones's work."
