Description
Outstanding water colour illustrations by Margaret Mee, the pioneering female explorer and conservationist, who recorded the diverse beauty of the Amazonian rain forest and passionately campaigned against its destruction. Twenty-six beautiful full colour reproductions of Mee's inspirational art are accompanied by an introduction by Ruth Stiff, a brief history of Kew by Ray Desmond, and essays by Simon Mayo, Brinsley Burbidge and Shirley Sherwood.
