Marianne North, a remarkable Victorian traveler and painter, embarked on a remarkable journey across the globe, armed with her paintbrush and a journal to document the world's flora. In 1879, she made an extraordinary offer to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, donating her extensive painting collection, numbering over 800 pieces. Not only that, but she also funded the construction of a gallery specifically designed to house her precious artwork. Marianne remained deeply involved in the project, showcasing her artistic talent by painting beautiful decorative motifs on the interior door panels and surrounds. For the first time, this unique and stunning book brings together all of Marianne North's Kew collection. The paintings are arranged geographically, mirroring the arrangement in the Gallery where they originally hung. Alongside each painting, Marianne's original titles are included, providing a glimpse into her artistic vision. Written by Christopher Mills, former Head of Kew's Library, Art, and Archives, this book serves as a captivating introduction to Marianne North's remarkable body of work. It makes for a beautiful gift and souvenir, celebrating the beauty and significance of her artistic legacy.
