The history of great diamonds is intimately interwoven with the lives of emperors and conquerors, great kings and queens, statesmen and soldiers, the rich and famous – but also, inevitably, with those who lead more shadowy lives. Few have been immune to the temptation of diamonds and many have sacrificed their lives and souls to them. In Famous Diamonds, Ian Balfour tells the fascinating stories of almost 80 of these gems including the famous: Koh-i-Noor, which is set in the British Crown Jewels; the infamous: the deep blue Hope Diamond, which is said to bring bad luck to all who handle it; the biggest: the Cullinan; and the Hollywood romantic: the Taylor-Burton Diamond. 2
Suzanne Belperron Sylvie Raulet & Olivier Baroin ISBN: 9781851496259 277 x 277mm. 352pp. 250col. £75.00/$150.00 Hardback
Suzanne Belperron was one of the most talented and influential jewellery designers of the 20th century. Inspired by the discovery of her personal archives in 2007, the authors of this book have created the first volume dedicated to the life and works of this renowned Parisian jeweller. In 1919 Belperron was employed as a model maker and designer by Germaine Boivin. She contributed enormously to the success of the Maison René Boivin, but in 1932 she decided to leave the company. It was with her associate Bernard Herz, a powerful precious stone and pearl dealer, that Belperron first found the freedom to reject traditional jewellery design and manufacture. Fascinated by coloured stones, regardless of their value, she created highly innovative pieces in contrast to the standard creations of the time which were mostly angular and set in platinum. Her jewellery was so original that she never signed her pieces, instead insisting ‘my style is my signature’. 3

The House of Boucheron represents one of the great Parisian jewellers of the last 150 years. Founder, Frédéric Boucheron opened his first shop in 1858. Many of his clients were not women of society, but femmes fatales of the demi-monde. Nonetheless, his skill with precious stones and his absolute discretion made him a favourite of both courtesans and princes. In turn his business flourished allowing him to move to the famous Place Vendôme in 1892. Having been given unprecedented access to the Boucheron vaults, the book’s author,Vincent Meylan, made some remarkable discoveries. Perhaps the most significant was a register labelled ‘Book of Stones’. It is a record of all the precious stones that have entered Boucheron’s stock; diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, rubies and pearls are all indexed according to weight, price and, most importantly, who bought and sold them. Meylan also uncovered almost 200 order books and 150 letters. It is these ‘Secret Archives’ that have enabled him to reveal the fascinating history of the House of Boucheron and its extraordinary, colourful clientele. From the ‘Ladies of Sin’ to the ‘King and Queens of the World’ Meylan reveals the riveting stories behind the jewels that the Parisian jeweller sold; the desires they aroused, the madness they provoked, the love they formalised, and the deaths they caused. Boucheron’s clients included Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, King Farouk of Egypt, The Duke of Windsor, and Rita Hayworth.The demands of these wealthy and powerful individuals led to the sensational orders that elevated Boucheron to highest level of creativity. This captivating and revealing publication includes original design sketches, black and white archive images and sumptuous colour photographs of the exquisite Boucheron creations.

Biba remains one of the most evocative names in British design history; it pioneered a new style, mixing the contemporary with Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the golden age of Hollywood, dressing itself in the richly luxuriant colours of a bygone time. With photographs of one of the largest collections in the world, this book presents a complete history of Biba, showcasing its clothing, memorabilia, merchandising and interior design. Brigitte Bardot, Yoko Ono and Princess Anne are all known to have shopped at the store, whilst Sonny and Cher, Mick and Marianne, and David and Angie were regular visitors. Yet Biba was never the exclusive preserve of the rich and famous. Rather, it brought the cutting edge of couture to the masses; prices were kept deliberately low, and anyone who could tolerate the disdainful inefficiency of the staff was encouraged to soak up the glamour of a unique shopping experience.
Big Biba, the final flowering of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary Biba store in London, was a shop like no other. It was a fabulous fantasy palace that brought the indulgence of Hollywood to the world of retail. The committed Bibaphile could not only buy a new wardrobe and a complete range of cosmetics or soft furnishings, but she could also hang out, either lounging in the shopwindows, or sipping cocktails upstairs amongst the flamingos that lived on the Roof Garden.

Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting David Revere McFadden with Jennifer Scanlan & Jennifer Steifle Edwards ISBN: 9781851495689 257 x 209mm. 156pp. 193col. 5b.&w. ÂŁ18.95/$40.00 Paperback
Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting examines the work of a diverse group of contemporary artists who have reformed knitting and lacemaking by experimenting with innovative techniques and materials. The works, which were largely created for an exhibition of the same name at New York’s Museum of Arts & Design, engage with a wide range of cultural, social and political issues. In particular, many of the pieces stress the significance of handwork as a symbol of community and communication. The works also epitomise a crucial change in the visual arts; inspiring, provocative and radical, they challenge our assumptions of art, craft and design, in turn making their classification extremely difficult.

Ferdinand Preiss (1882-1943) was the most prolific sculptor of the Art Deco period in Germany. He combined ivory, bronze, onyx and marble to create the most dazzling sculptures of his day. Preiss entered into an apprenticeship with his uncle, a master ivory carver, at the age of sixteen, following the death of his parents. He went on to become the most important Art Deco sculptor in Germany, and indeed one of the most accomplished in the whole of Europe during the Nazi period. This book follows the development of ivory carving in Erbach, Germany, whilst also examining the political climate of the time.
Illustrated with over 200 colour images of collectors’ pieces, this book is a celebration of the vibrancy and brilliance that emanated from the Fauré Atelier during the Art Deco period. From painting street signs and billboards, Fauré moved on to enamels of the highest quality, mostly of vases. An avid clientele not only in France, but as far away as Japan and Brazil welcomed his geometric and flowerform designs, with vibrant and shining colours. This book examines Fauré's personal life, art and studio and contains wonderful illustrations of objects from museums as well as private collections, which until now have never been seen by the public.
Art Deco and Other Figures Bryan Catley ISBN: 9781851493821 288 x 220mm. 400pp. 121col. 1,133b.&w. £45.00/$89.50 Hardback – Reprint 2012
This important book contains the most complete range of Art Deco figures ever published. During the interwar years a modern style of decorative sculpture emerged; it represented a complete break from the heavy romantic late 19th century schools, and was totally in sympathy with the vibrant young society of the 1920s. The use of bronze and ivory for a great number of these sensual figures in no way obscures the fact that many are of exceptionally high quality. Add to that their sense of movement and rhythm, and it is clear that the large sums they now command is a reflection of a discriminative international collectors’ market.

The Golden Age of English Glass features 150 objects from the collection of John H. Bryan, ranging in date from c.1650-1809. These enable a full and detailed discussion of the history of English glassmaking during its critical period of innovation (c.1650-1675) and its world triumph (c.1700-1775). The volume includes discussions on crystal table glass, 'black' glass bottles, window glass, mirrors and lighting (glass candlesticks and chandeliers). In spite of the fact that these pieces are among the most important examples of English glass known, little has been published on this era. The scholarly text brings together the latest information in a dynamic area of research; essays accompanying catalogue discussions of individual glasses place them in their wider historical and technical settings. With over 300 images, the volume offers a valuable insight into the processes of manufacture and decoration as well as beautifully conveying the historical function of the pieces.
This exciting new book, the result of five years of research and writing, is the first ever in-depth study of the leading vessel in the European glassmakers repertoire between 1650 and 1950. In presenting the subject on a wide stage, The Decanter provides the reader with a history of European and American glassmaking from the perspective of the decanter. Illustrated by photographs, patterns and drawings of thousands of examples drawn from numerous public and private collections, the text encompasses the stylistic and technical evolution of fine glassmaking and its influences and social uses. Written by a former journalist and glass dealer with twenty-five years’ experience, The Decanter is readable and accessible, and provides an indispensable guide to social historians and lovers of antique glass and wine.

The sheer complexity of the subject of European furniture makes it unrealistic to cover it adequately in anything less than this detailed and lavishly illustrated work. It was inevitable that such a vast area, undergoing great political and industrial change, should be responsible for such a confused mixture of styles. While much of the furniture was either bizarre or mass-produced, the period also saw the manufacture of the excellently crafted and beautifully designed pieces, which are so sought after and appreciated today. This pioneering reference work discusses the the European furniture produced between 1830 and 1910 in great depth, and with great clarity.

Each piece is accompanied by an in-depth caption detailing the timber, date range, finish, and distinctive decorative features. With an abundance of additional expertise including information on dating assessments, construction techniques and regional variations, English Country Furniture is the standard work of reference on the subject. 47

Boxes are beguiling because they offer the double delight of an enticing exterior, and the anticipation and satisfaction of a fully fitted interior.

The coverage of decoration and styles is remarkably complete and includes the traditional, the exotic and the eccentric; folk art to Fabergé, tea caddies to tinder boxes, and medicine chests to music boxes.

The inspiration for the book came from the collection formed by the author's mother, Dorothy Sturm, in Trinidad, between 1939 and 1981. As Philip Sturm became increasingly involved with caring for the family collection he discovered there were no books on the subject, and accordingly resolved to conduct his own detailed and lengthy researches into this hitherto neglected subject.

Watches represent a fascinating combination of applied art and science and an outstanding contribution to their history and development was made in England. This is the first book to cover all aspects of English watches from every period, and by dividing the watches into six periods, the author has been able to provide an admirably comprehensive survey, clearly presenting the evolution of the English Watch.

How the Watch was Worn: A Fashion for 500 Years Genevieve Cummins ISBN: 9781851496372 300 x 235mm. 272pp. 649col. 350b.&w. £45.00/$85.00 Hardback
The watch was not only made to work, but to wear. Its creation, approximately 500 years ago, was one of man's mechanical masterpieces. Technical and decorative aspects of the watch have already been extensively written about; the manner of wearing, however, has sadly been neglected. This book aims to correct that by presenting, in largely pictorial fashion, changes in style between 1510 and 2010. Over 1,000 fascinating images depicting people wearing watches, as well as the gowns and outfits of the day, are included. Types of watches illustrated include fob, pocket, pendant, brooch, ring, buckle, cufflink, doll, as well as the wristwatch.

Illustrated throughout with hundreds of photographs, the volume provides not just portraits of watches but also examples of their internal workings and movements. Unlike many books on horology, Pocket Watches focuses on attainable and affordable watches that the reader might actually come across. Everything one could ever want to know about pocket watches, whether English, American or Swiss, is contained here. 54

Mughal Architecture & Gardens gives an insight into what is undoubtedly one of the most impressive groups of monuments and gardens ever to be ascribed to a single royal lineage.

The most famous examples are the Red Fort in Dehli and Taj Mahal in Agra.

Kaldor examines the splendid buildings of New York, concentrating mainly on those designed and constructed at the end of the nineteenth century. Featuring some fifty historic landmarks including the Woolworth Building, the Empire State Building, and Grand Central Station, the book also includes detailed map endpapers which allow it to be used as a guide.

F.H.K Henrion was one of a distinguished group of graphic designers who brought cutting-edge continental design to the rather parochial English scene. He quickly made his mark as a poster designer for the Ministry of Information, but also began to build up a career in exhibition design, culminating in two highly original pavilions for the Festival of Britain. However, Henrion is best remembered for his evangelical work in corporate identity design, whereby he raised the status of the graphic designer to boardroom significance.
Claud Lovat Fraser - universally known as Lovat - is one of the great unsung heroes of 20th-century British design. During his short life of just thirty-one years, he achieved an astonishing amount of work as draughtsman, watercolourist, caricaturist, publisher, illustrator, and designer of stage-sets, toys and fabrics; he also designed silks for Liberty's, cretonnes for Foxton's, and bookjackets for Heinemann and Nelson. His inimitable style and psychedelic palette became the hallmark of both the Curwen Press and the Poetry Bookshop.

At that time Portobello was still very much rooted in the past; the Swinging Sixties had yet to make an impression on the market, and parts seemed to be locked in a 1930s time warp, occasionally bordering on the Dickensian.
Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate is much more than a recipe book.

Whether it be the typical nutritional values of plain, milk and white chocolate, or the wines that compliment the different varieties,Wybauw explains it all.

Brian Duffy defined the image of the 1960s, and was as famous as the stars he photographed. Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, he is recognised as one of the innovators of ‘documentary’ fashion photography, a style which revolutionised the industry; the press nicknamed the three photographers 'The Terrible Three', and Norman Parkinson added to their notoriety by naming them 'The Black Trinity.' Duffy's first commission came from Ernestine Carter, the then fashion editor of The Sunday Times. From there he was hired by British Vogue in 1957 where he remained until 1963 photographing famous models such as Pauline Stone and Jean Shrimpton. In the 1960s Duffy worked for many of the major fashion magazines and papers; his list of subjects was a role call of the celebrities of that time: Sidney Poitier, Michael Caine, Sammy Davis Jr., Nina Simone, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and William Burroughs. However, in 1979 Duffy notoriously decided to give up photography, burning his negatives in a symbolic fire in his back yard; many were lost but in 2009, at the behest of his son Chris, Duffy took up the camera again for a BBC documentary. Recently many negatives have been discovered and salvaged, and the BBC documentary about his early career and comeback, dubbed The Man Who Shot the 60s, was shown eight times in 2010.

Soviet Impressionist Painting
The Art and Design of Natalia Goncharova Dr. Anthony Parton

ISBN: 9781851496051 300 x 237mm. 520pp. 654col. 178b.&w. ÂŁ49.50/$95.00 Hardback
A contemporary of Picasso, Matisse and Kandinsky, Goncharova is now recognised as one of the leading Russian artists of the twentieth century. This book traces the development of her art from its impressionist origins, through a provocative phase of 'primitive' style paintings on peasant themes to highly innovative abstract works that rivalled the most daring experiments of the Cubists and Futurists. As a woman artist she was galvanized by gender issues and addressed these directly in her work. In both her paintings and her behaviour she questioned accepted conventions and scandalized Russian society. Her large-scale retrospective in Moscow in 1913, in which she exhibited over 700 works, demonstrated to public and critics alike that she was, unquestionably, one of the greatest painterly talents that Russia had ever produced.

This book is a completely revised and updated edition of Soviet Impressionism, published in 2001.Vern Swanson has included a mass of new information as well as 140 additional colour plates. Soviet art from the 1930s to the 1980s is now considered the 20th century's major realist school of painting, although much of it remained hidden during its heyday due to the politics of the Cold War. Now, percipient and adventurous art historians are turning the balance, and addressing the presence of Soviet Impressionist paintings. This is a vibrant and powerful school of art. Beautiful colour illustrations throughout and a highly perceptive text make this a reference book no art lover or historian would wish to be without.

This beautifully produced book tells the story of The School Prints series. Dreamt up towards the end of WWII by Brenda Rawnsley and her husband Derek, its purpose was to bring contemporary art to young children by putting 'good' art into schools.

These were then issued in a series of standard-sized prints, to which schools could subscribe.

Contemporary Lithographs was a pioneering scheme set up by Robert Wellington and John Piper in 1935, with the intention of providing good quality prints to schools across Britain. Together the men commissioned and produced two series of prints, with Piper sometimes taking on the task of coaching artists who were not familiar with the auto-lithography process. Edward Bawden, the Nash brothers, Eric Ravilious, and Graham Sutherland were among those involved with the scheme. 66

From the remote Stone Age mounds and standing stones of the Orkneys to the well-trodden turf at Land's End and from the fens of East Anglia to the wild mountains of Wales, David Gentleman's Britain reveals the landscape and architecture of the British Isles. His techniques, watercolour and pen and wash, are familiar and traditional but his approach is startlingly individual and vigorous, both in his drawings and in the text that accompanies them. Cotswold villages and city suburbs, country lanes and motorways, beauty spots and black spots, landmarks and follies of all ages are contrasted to produce a matchless and magnificent rendering of Britain's landscape.
This beautiful book is a portrait of two Londons. One is a familiar and majestic capital; the other, a city less well known and often taken for granted. David Gentleman's London covers the capital from the inner city to the outer limits. The traditional sights of London – Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and St Paul's – appear alongside many less familiar splendours such as Queen Anne's Gate and Spitalfields, and often in powerful contrast to the new London that continues inexorably to develop unchecked around them.

Early Sea Painters in England: 1660-1730 F. B. Cockett ISBN: 9781851492305 279 x 216mm. 160pp. 58col. 47b.&w. £25.00/$49.50 Hardback
Marine paintings really began in England with the arrival of the Van de Veldes from Holland in 1673. However, they so dominated the world of marine painting that work by other marine artists working in England at the time received little attention. This relatively unknown group, including Isaac Sailmaker, Jacob Knyff, and Adrian van Diest is the subject of this important book. Pictures by these painters have increasingly been appearing in British sale rooms and their work is highly sought after by collectors. 76

Gin'll Fix It is Simon’s 28th book. A compilation of his recent work, it presents more of his unmistakable illustrations and satirical wordplays. Domestic animals, birds, and beasts of the farmyard are some of Drew’s favourite subjects, and they are often humanised by the unusual scenes in which he places them. A sense of the absurd permeates all of Drew’s books, and ‘Gin’ll Fix It’ contains more fine examples of his fascination with the ridiculous, which are testament to his indefatigable creativity and unique style.

The photographs in this book focus on the incredible colours, patterns and textures to be found – but more often missed – on coral reefs. The accompanying text provides detailed information about the formation of the reefs, the huge variety of organisms that make their lives in, and often give life to, the reefs, and how crucial the reefs are to the well-being of the islands protected by them, as well as the world as a whole.

Amphibians appeared on the earth 360 million years ago as the first four-footed animals and pioneers in the conquest of dry land. This book is a celebration of the vibrant world of frogs, toads, newts and salamanders. Far from the brown and green slime-dwellers of childhood pond-dippings, the creatures depicted here are positively jewel-like, their colours further enhanced by the dark backgrounds they are photographed against.
Horse Whisperings: Portraits by Bob Tabor Bob Tabor ISBN: 9781851496358 290 x 362mm. 168pp. 150col. £39.95/$69.50 Hardback
The photographs in this book reflect Bob Tabor’s unique intimacy with horses. Each portrait combines the inner strength, spirit and gentle power of nature's most beautiful athlete. Only natural light is used to illuminate every muscle, every hair, every sinew, as Bob’s aim was to meet his subjects on their own terms. In turn, his subjects have allowed him to capture their very souls; he’s given the horses a voice and allowed them to speak for themselves.

David Hicks was one of the great designers of the 20th century. Primarily known for his interior design, he was also involved with carpets, jewellery, fabrics, furniture, wallpaper, and, last but not least, gardens. His approach was dictatorial and uncompromising and he did not mince his words. What he seeks to impart in this book is ‘style’ and it is very much a style of his own. His clear-cut attitudes are revealed in these writings on garden design and the gardens and styles which he admires. ‘What I have sought to achieve, all through my working life,’ he writes ‘is a liaison between the past and the present day whilst maintaining a practical but somewhat experimental attitude to outdated tradition.’

Originally published in 1961 as a complementary study to Geoffrey Jellicoe’s Italian Gardens of the Renaissance, this book provides a comprehensive background to the gardens and their antecedents. Tracing a line through the history and topography of Italy, Georgina Masson picks out the finest examples of gardens dating from the Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque periods. Primarily, the volume represents a masterpiece of photography, evoking memories for those who have already visited the gardens and inspiring those who have not. Secondly, it is an accomplished study of the history of Italian gardens from their inception in ancient Rome, and the medieval and early Humanist gardens, to the later ones of Tuscany, Rome, the Veneto and Northern Italy.
Gardens for Small Country Houses was first published by Country Life in 1912. The original edition, with its black and white illustrations, represents a dream time at the very end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, when the Arts and Crafts movement had evolved into country house architecture and then found its most delightful expression in the making of gardens. This new edition, re-titled Arts and Crafts Gardens takes advantage of modern colour reproduction and colour printing technology; colour photographs of Arts and Crafts gardens and houses as they are today together with reproductions of contemporary paintings and watercolours complement the original black and white photographs and bring new colour and light to a now vanished world.

Claude Monet spent the last 43 years of his life at Giverny, creating the gardens and paintings for which he is now revered. This book examines the controlling intelligence behind both landscape and art, and the influences that shaped Monet’s life and vision.

Drawing upon the voices of Monet and his contemporaries and offering a wealth of horticultural detail, this publication is a fascinating celebration of a unique artistic mind. With contemporary correspondence and plant catalogues, and over 150 illustrations, this book offers a visual exploration of the gardens where Monet celebrated his passion for painting and plants.

This book tells the story of James Pulham & Son, the eminent family of Victorian and Edwardian landscape artists who specialised in the construction of picturesque rock gardens, ferneries, follies and grottoes. The book covers more than four generations of the family business that was also responsible for the manufacture of extremely high-quality terracotta garden ornaments including fountains, vases, sundials and balustrading. The rock gardens, for which the firm are mainly remembered today, were built with ‘artificial’ rocks – formed from heaps of old bricks and rubble, coated with cement, and sculpted to simulate the colour and texture of natural stone. The author’s interest in James Pulham & Son stems from the fact that no fewer than five of his ancestors worked for the company as ‘rock builders’. 86

Old Cottage Pinks Mary McMurtrie ISBN: 9781870673501 279 x 216mm. 120pp. 114col. £19.95/$39.50 Hardback
Popular garden plants with an impressive history, Pinks have been grown for hundreds of years. They are found throughout the world and were a favourite in Britain, even before the reign of Elizabeth I, when they were grown to edge garden borders, to be picked for posies and made into bunches to be sold in the market. An attractive record of all those Old Pinks that Mary McMurtrie was able to find and paint, this volume is a celebration of her highly individual yet wonderfully understated watercolours. The illustrations are accompanied by her own useful notes.

Margery Fish has often been called the ‘Mother of Modern Gardening’. Today gardeners come from all over the world to visit her garden at East Lambrook in Somerset – to discover for themselves the glorious results of her special genius. She grew plants that pleased her and did not need too much work, and showed for the first time how it was possible to have flowers in the garden all year round.

Geoffrey Jellicoe Vol. III Geoffrey Jellicoe ISBN: 9781870673129 279 x 216mm. 250pp. 407b.&w. £35.00/$75.00 Hardback
This celebrated body of work’s comprehensive coverage of modern aspects of landscape design, practice and philosophy, is as relevant today as it was when the three volumes first appeared (1960, 1966, 1970). Jellicoe adopts a philosophical and psychological approach to his subject; his masterly explanation of symbolism and allegory in landscape design is crucial, as it presages his evaluation, in later works, of the importance of the subconscious in our reaction to landscapes..
Landscape of Civilisation: The Moody Historical Gardens Geoffrey Jellicoe ISBN: 9781870673013 279 x 216mm. 200pp. 48col. 200b.&w. £25.00/$49.50 Hardback
Geoffrey Jellicoe was one the greatest landscape artists of the 20th century, and this volume presents arguably his finest project: a cultural history of the world seen in miniature through landscapes. Jellicoe designed a series of gardens which would take the visitor on a mile-long odyssey from the beginning of time (the primeval forest) up to the 19th century, whilst passing through the great civilizations of the world including classical Rome and 18th-century romantic Europe. This work presents over 100 of his detailed drawings and sketches.

Many professions are involved directly or indirectly with tropical landscape, yet there are few sources of readily digestible information to which the student can turn. This book gives guidance about tropical landscape design to the newcomer. It describes the work of the professional designer, but is sufficiently down-to-earth to be accessible to the amateur for whom professional consultation is not available.
Gardens of the Mind: The Genius of Geoffrey Jellicoe Michael Spens ISBN: 9781851490882 279 x 216mm. 192pp. 94col. 155b.&w. £25.00/$49.50 Hardback
This volume is the first detailed study of the life and work of Geoffrey Jellicoe. Born in 1900, his working life coincided with virtually all of the main developments in landscape and garden design of the 20th century. His wide-ranging influences, together with his own particular vision, gave his work an individuality and style that was internationally recognised. This book outlines his contributions to garden design, revealing the origins and forms of his genius. 96

For thirty-two years, the artist Margaret Mee was enchanted by and lured back to the massive, unpredictable and fertile rainforests of Amazonas. Her initial objective, to search out and illustrate the glorious flora of the Amazon basin, was later combined with a growing concern for the commercial plunder of the great forests. Her first expedition to Amazonas was in 1956 and it was then that she began to keep the diaries that, along with her paintings, drawings and sketches, make up this book.
Margaret Mee was one of the most remarkable women of the 20th century: an intrepid explorer of the Brazilian rainforest and an outstanding botanical artist, she was acclaimed by botanists and art critics worldwide. Flowers of the Amazon Forests:The Botanical Art of Margaret Mee illustrates more than sixty of Mee’s major works, with additional sketches painted while in the forest. The text is taken directly from the diaries she kept whilst travelling, giving a wonderful insight into the Amazon.

George Forrest was a legendary 20th-century British plant collector. Despite being well known in gardening circles and having plants named after him, this is the first biography to be written about the plant hunter.
John Lindley is honoured nowadays as the foremost British orchidologist of the 19th century; indeed he is seen by many as ‘the father of orchidology’. This volume provides an fascinating account of his life and achievements.
Expedition Naga contains diaries written by British administrators/ explorers offering an insight into one of the world’s most remote and least accessible regions, inhabited by a people once notorious as headhunters.

Augustine Henry was one of the most influential plant hunters to have travelled to China during the latter part of the 19th century. This book tells the fascinating story of his life and work and documents the expeditions undertaken by a dedicated team of botanists and horticulturalists in the 1990s to revisit Henry’s routes, many of which were in danger of being flooded with the installation of the Three Gorges Dam across the Yangtze River.

This book tells the story of the extensive travels made by Peter Cox and Peter Hutchison in search of plants in Turkey, India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Tibet. On nearly every expedition, they explored territory where no Western plant hunters had been since such great explorers as Frank Kingdon Ward, and some of the trails they followed were so remote and rough that they had never before been botanised. Every trip was an adventure, and every adventure bore the seeds of success.
Sir Joseph Hooker is remembered as an eminent Victorian botanist and one of Charles Darwin’s closest collaborators. At some risk to his own safety and health, Hooker discovered many new species and introduced a number of attractive flowers into British gardens. This volume reveals his participation in Sir James Clark Ross’ epic voyage to Antarctica in 1839-43, as well as his visits to Syria and Lebanon in 1860, to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco in 1871, and to the Rockies and California in 1877. 99
