1st. Ed. Fac. Pub. Kew Publishing. 2017 pp.ix,14 plus 30 colour plates with accompanying text. Small folio. New hardback. RRP £25.00
Joseph Hooker’s plant hunting trip to Sikkim-Himalaya between 1848 and 1851 resulted in a much celebrated collection of Rhododendrons. Walter Hood Fitch was chosen to bring Hooker’s line drawings of these wonderful plants to life through the production of colour lithographs for inclusion in Hooker’s ‘Rhododendrons of Sikkim Himalaya’ (published 1849-1851). This superb facsimile edition is reproduced from an original held at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. All three parts of the original book are brought together, with all 30 plates beautifully reproduced alongside Hooker's original descriptions.
