"Four Seasons of Flowers is an illustrated volume that presents a selection of the
manuscripts, herbals, and printed botanical texts from the Rare Book Collection at
Dumbarton Oaks. Representing pivotal works in the intellectual history of Europe from
the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, these drawings, books, and manuscripts are
among the most significant materials conserved in the Rare Book Reading Room. They
offer an illuminating overview of the history of botany as a modern science, from
its inception to the present day. Each text is accompanied by a remarkable set of
botanical illustrations. Their scientific accuracy and aesthetic beauty testify to
the importance of the visual image once the efficacy of the printing press as an instrument
for the furtherance of knowledge in the sciences and technology—from anatomy to zoology
and from astronomy to botany—had been fully recognized..."--Publisher description
