Cornucopia of Fruit & Vegetables, A

Illustrations from an eighteenth-century botanical treasury

This stunning gift book offers fruit and vegetables as detailed art, viewed through eighteenth-century eyes, allowing us to enjoy the sight of swan-necked gourds and horned lemons, smile at silkworms hovering over mulberries and delight at the quirkiness of 'strawberry spinach' ... a delicious medley of garden produce for gardeners and art-lovers.
