A Garden of Eden: Masterpieces of Botanical Illustration
H. Walter Lack
Koln: Taschen, 2021.“In pursuit of both knowledge and delight, the craft of botanical illustration has always required not only meticulous draftsmanship but also a rigorous scientific understanding. This new edition of a TASCHEN classic celebrates the botanical tradition and talents with a selection of outstanding works from the National Library of Vienna, including many new images. From Byzantine manuscripts right through to 19th-century masterpieces, through peonies, callas, and chrysanthemums, these exquisite reproductions dazzle in their accuracy and their aesthetics. Whether in gently furled leaves, precisely textured fruits, or the sheer beauty and variety of colors, we celebrate an art form as tender as it is precise, and ever more resonant amid our growing awareness of our ecological surroundings and the preciousness of natural flora.” (publisher’s blurb)

Terribly Awesome Photo Books
Paul Kooiker; Erik Kessels
[Gent]: Art Paper Editions, 2012.“For several years, Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have organized evenings for friends in which they share the strangest photo books in their collections. The books shown are rarely available in regular shops, but are picked up in thrift stores and from antiquaries. The groups fascination for these pictorial non-fiction books comes from the need to find images that exist on the fringe of regular commercial photo books. Its only in this area that its possible to find images with an uncontrived quality. Whats noticeable from these publications is that theres a thin line between being terrible and being awesome. This constant tension makes the books interesting. Its also worth noting that these tomes all fall within certain categories: the medical, instructional, scientific, sex, humour or propaganda. Paul Kooiker and Erik Kessels have made a selection of their finest books from within this questionable new genre.” (publisher’s blurb)
