Review title: Remarkable Facsimile: a must have!
Product review: Taschen has done it again with this wonderful facsimile on this, the most significant Florilegium (book on flowers before photography) of the Renaissance.And, the PRICE is truly remarkable given the shape and size--and care--which was taken by Taschen to do an accurate reproduction.Florilegium of the Renaissance were dominated by books on herbs compiled for use by the medical practitioners of the day, so the Reader must understand that the depiction of 'flowers' per se is inherently limited.That said, the illustration of medicinal plants is nevertheless interesting, and the format--which Taschen faithfully followed--captures attention as it reflects the style of book publishing of the day when illustrations were done by hand colorized woodblock.\This facsimile, therefore, is a historical curiosity and conversation piece.I am grateful for this fine book by Taschen--and at such an affordable price!
