"Swiss artist Cornelia Hesse-Honegger has been drawing animals, plants, and minerals for several decades now - always with a scientist's attention to detail and an artist's love of form. Labels of international renown such as Fabric Frontline and Akris have turned her fascinating pictures into prints and garments." "This is the first time Cornelia Hesse-Honegger's gorgeous silks have been presented in the form of a book, supplemented by the sketches and watercolors that served as copy."--Jacket.
