Overview
Noted botanist Eleanour Sinclair Rohde has written an engaging and informative preface to the text — rendered in charming calligraphic style. Each flower appears on the right-hand page, while van de Pass's text — translated from the original Latin — appears on the left-hand side, and includes details about the meaning of the name, the parts of the flower, size and color of blossoms, and calendar month in which the flower blooms.
Lovingly and painstakingly prepared, this book will also serve as a useful and accurate reference for today's botanists and gardeners, as well as appeal to antiquarians and lovers of fine art.
