Provides an introduction to the marrying of art and science in the aesthetic and accurate portrayal of plant material. Oxley builds on the work of illustrators of the past, ranging from Elizabeth Blackwell, whose drawings helped to release her husband from debtors' prison, through the exceptional scientific drawings of Beatrix Potter and she deals with the practical art and the related botany of the subject.--From publisher description.
