Zustand: Fair. How exquisite is exquisite? Photographer Christopher Baker and Willem Lemmers, one of the world's foremost tulip experts, set out to find the answers. The result is Tulipa, where, in 350 stunning full-color plates, perfection in nature meets perfection in art. Each specimen was chosen for its importance as a superb example of the flower's form and characteristics, and each photograph, taken at the peak of the flower's beauty, becomes a stunning portrait. The "story" behind 500 tulips is told as well, from a tulip's parentage to the history of its cultivation and discovery. ; vergeeld; foxing (o.a. op snede).
Zustand: Sehr gut. 4°. 307, (1) S. Mit über 300 exzellenten und zumeist großformatigen Künstlerfotos. Original Leinen (Hardcover). Am Rückenfuß etwas bestoßen, Schutzumschlag mit Randläsuren und berieben. Inspiriert von botanischen Stichen des 17ten und 18ten Jahrhunderts versucht der Fotograf Christopher Baker die Schönheit und Detailfülle dieser Zeichnungen mit einem anderen Medium in gleicher Weise einzufangen. Dieser opulente Bildband ist das Ergebnis eines 8-monatigen Aufenthaltes auf den Tulpenfeldern Hollands, während dessen er die schönsten und eindruckvollsten Tulpen fotografierte. Das Ergebnis dieser Mühe ist ein künstlerisches Buch mit einer Mission: Einerseits ein faszinierender Bildband, ist TULIPA ein Referenzbuch über Zucht- und Wildtulpen. Willem Lemmers, Tulpenzüchter in der dritten Generation, erzählt die Geschichten von 500 Tulpen, ihrer Abstammung und Herkunft und die ihrer Züchter. Jede Darstellung enthält den Namen der Tulpe, eventuelle andere Bezeichnungen, eine Beschreibung ihrer Charakteristika, Ansprüche und Verwendung.
