內容簡介
內容簡介 Flowers of the Amazon Forests: The Botanical Art of Margaret Mee illustrates sixty of her major works with additional sketches painted whilst in the immense, yet vulnerable, rainforests of the Amazon. The accompanying text, taken from the travel diaries she kept during her extensive - and often solo - adventures through Amazonas, recounts her comments on the flowers, trees, birds and animals of the region as well as her thoughts on the rapidly disappearing Brazilian forest, thus setting in context her botanical illustrations. Beautifully illustrates the botanical work of Marg aret Mee, the premier female explorer of the Brazilian rainforest, depicting many of the flower s she painted in her thirty years of expeditions to the Amazon.
