| Margaret Stones (1) Garden Flowers These chromolithographs are by E. Margaret Stones, one of the foremost botanical illustrators of the modern era. The plates below are cut from issues of Curtis' Botanical Magazine (new series) that appeared in the 1970s and 80s. After moving from Australia in the 1950s, Stones worked at the British Museum and for a while, at the Jardin d'Etat in Brussels. Beginning in 1958, she became a major contributor to the Botanical Magazine. She is perhaps best known for her six-volume Endemic Flora of Tasmania (1967-78). More recently, she has completed a watercolor series of the Flora of Louisiana. Wilfrid Blunt has commended her work for "its innate sense of design, lumious quality of colors and sensitive precision." |
