Hardback. Zustand: Good. Born before Waterloo, and working into the late Victorian period, Caroline May spent nearly half a century painting the wild flowers of Britain. The daughter and sister of country parsons, she lived in Hampshire, Surrey and Cornwall, but travelled all over Britain in search of plants to record in watercolour. Nearly a thousand of her paintings have survived, in perfect condition and previously unpublished, many of them over 150 years old. Richard Mabey, conservationist and botanist, has made a selection of these paintings, chosen for their pictorial distinction and grace as well as their botanical accuracy and interest. He has written an introduction and captions for each plate, giving the botanical classification for each plant depicted, the place and date it was recorded by Caroline May and further information about its habitat and history. A biographical sketch of Caroline May is contributed by her descendent, the Rev John Tyler, and there are contemporary maps to show the sites of her botanical excursions, which can be visited today. The 86 facsimile illustrations on wide white borders are suitable for removal, mounting and framing.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The Cabaret of Plants is a masterful, globe-trotting exploration of the relationship between humans and the kingdom of plants by the renowned naturalist Richard Mabey. A rich, sweeping, and wonderfully readable work of botanical history, The Cabaret of Plants explores dozens of plant species that for millennia have challenged our imaginations, awoken our wonder, and upturned our ideas about history, science, beauty, and belief. Going back to the beginnings of human history, Mabey shows how flowers, trees, and plants have been central to human experience not just as sources of food and medicine but as objects of worship, actors in creation myths, and symbols of war and peace, life and death. Writing in a celebrated style that the Economist calls ?delightful and casually learned,? Mabey takes readers from the Himalayas to Madagascar to the Amazon to our own backyards. He ranges through the work of writers, artists, and scientists such as da Vinci, Keats, Darwin, and van Gogh and across nearly 40,000 years of human history: Ice Age images of plant life in ancient cave art and the earliest representations of the Garden of Eden; Newton?s apple and gravity, Priestley?s sprig of mint and photosynthesis, and Wordsworth?s daffodils; the history of cultivated plants such as maize, ginseng, and cotton; and the ways the sturdy oak became the symbol of British nationhood and the giant sequoia came to epitomize the spirit of America. Complemented by dozens of full-color illustrations, The Cabaret of Plants is the magnum opus of a great naturalist and an extraordinary exploration of the deeply interwined history of humans and the natural world.…
