Admired by art lovers and naturalists alike, Henry Evans’s work reveals a style intriguingly personal and botanically faithful, unerring in its feeling for rhythm and design. Botanical Prints presents a vast array of his work and goes one step further by providing excerpts from the artist’s notebooks, which illuminate not only the physical processes he used by also the brilliant mind that created both the prints and the prose. The text includes the artist’s ideas on such subjects as drawing from nature, printmaking, color, taste, and collecting art. It gives a personal insight into ideas that relate to the creative process.
