Martius The Book of Palms published by Taschen
Martius The Book of Palms published by Taschen
Martius The Book of Palms condenses Martius’s monumental study of palms into a compact edition, preserving the celebrated botanical plates, landscapes, and diagrams that helped establish a modern visual classification of the palm family.
“This is the quality that holds my attention: The diagrams and landscapes make palms intelligible as structures rather than merely exotic silhouettes. I can imagine returning to it for years.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
