As lovers of all fine botanical illustration, we have
expanded our selection to include important
works from the 20th century, which has truly seen a
renaissance in botanical illustration. Many of these
works are special editions, or limited editions of
numbered issues & many were supported by Wilfred Blunt,
the renowned expert on botanical illustration & author
of the invaluable reference “The Art of Botanical
Illustration.”
The two magnificent works from which we offer superb,
reasonably priced folio prints each have a foreword by
William Blunt and were published in 1971 & 1976 as
companion works. The Flora Superba is edition 112 of 406, the Flora Magnifica
numbered 373 of 506.
Paul Jones (1921-1997) is a contemporary Australian
artist who has painted these beautiful botanical
illustrations in a manner very reminiscent of Thornton’s
Temple of Flora. His paintings are widely held in museum
collections and included in several interesting exhibits
linked below, at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford & the
Smithsonian in Washington.

The prints are high quality lithographs on
Hollingsworth's all rag paper made at Turkey Mill, Kent
in vibrant color and are a wonderful size at 14 1/2 inches by
20 3/4 inches. Each print comes with a copy of the title page, signed by
the artist, and for some prints the original descriptive
text is available. They represent a continuation of a very long
tradition of botanical illustration and are superbly
decorative large prints.
