"This book celebrated the work of iconic artist Dale Chihuly in the landscape of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A reverie of form, colour and light, Chihuly's exquisite and utterly unique artworks are often described as exaggerated celebrations of what is found in nature. As the most biodiverse place on the planet, Kew's breath-taking setting is the ideal home for such work" - back cover.

This book brings together striking botanical art of Indian origin spanning a period of 300 years, focussing on the 18th and 19th centuries. Drawn mostly from original works held in the collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, some of the paintings have never been published before. They showcase the richness and variety of art commissioned from talented, mostly unknown, Indian artists who made a substantial contribution to the documentation of the flora of the Indian subcontinent. A foreword written by Sita Reddy places the collections in contemporary context. The book concludes with works from a new generation of botanical artists in India, who excite interest today.
