This is a fine print reproduction of The "World of Flowers" map, which was originally published in 1972 by John Bartholomew & Sons Ltd in Edinburgh. The work is both a map and chart with a detailed botanical representation of 161 flower species that highlights their global distribution.
The map categorizes these species into broad regions, including North America, the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and the Arctic. Each flower is illustrated in color around the map's margins, based on Barbara Everard's paintings from "Wildflowers of the World." An index with a key is provided at the bottom left and right for easy reference. Beyond its botanical focus, the map also showcases topographical features, depicting both land relief and ocean floor contours.
This pictorial map serves as both an educational tool and a decorative piece, offering insights into phytogeography and the natural beauty of various regions. It is perfect for botany enthusiasts, gardeners, florists, conservationists, and educators, offering a visually rich and educational depiction of global flora, while also appealing to art lovers and collectors who appreciate its vintage aesthetic and intricate botanical illustrations.
