This delightful botanical coloring book contains over 60 designs to
color based on the illustrations of Marianne North, accompanied by the
original, full-color artwork.
One of the 19th century's most intrepid women travelers, Marianne North
(1830-90) explored the world, traveling across Canada, the United States
and Mexico and down into the countries of South America as well as
making trips to the Middle East, Australia and South Africa. Her
contribution to botanical research and the documenting of new species
was invaluable and is marked by some of the most glorious and intricate
art that is on show in the Marianne North Gallery at the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew.
This delightful coloring book includes full-color plates opposite each
outline so that budding artists can be inspired by her original
illustrations or choose color schemes of their own.
