"在玛丽亚•西比拉•梅里安（Maria Sibylla Merian）确立自己科学开拓者的地位的三个多世纪之后——经过两个多世纪的默默无闻之后——这位前卫的自然主义者和艺术家的作品正在被重新发现。梅里安的作品《新花之书》提高了自然史插图的艺术标准。该书于1675年出版，运用了无可挑剔的具有艺术表现力的植物准确性。在这本书中，梅里安（Merian）摆脱了偏爱单一插图的传统方法，而是以探索花朵和昆虫之间关系为目的把她的研究结果写成了一本书。

这本海报书中的近24张插图来自《新花之书》。经过精心复制的每张插图都展示了梅里安作品的标志：精确的细节和明亮的色彩。非常适合进行仔细研究和用于装饰。

More than three centuries after Maria Sibylla Merian established herself as a scientific trailblazer - and after more than two centuries of obscurity - the work of this pioneering naturalist and artist is being rediscovered. Merian's work, The New Book of Flowers, raised the artistic standards of natural history illustration. Published in 1675, the book employed impeccable botanic accuracy with artistic expression. In it, Merian moved away from traditional methods that favoured single illustrations and instead composed her studies to explore the relationships between flowers and insects. This poster book draws its nearly two dozen illustrations from The New Book of Flowers. Exquisitely reproduced, each illustration reveals the exacting detail and luminous colours that are the hallmark of Merian's work. Perfect for close study as well as decoration, this treasury of botanical delight will help brighten any room - and inspire anyone drawn to the beautiful world of flowers.
