The continual demand among graphic artists for floral and botanical illustrations, combined with the perennial popularity of the Victorian style, have inspired this practical royalty-free collection. Artist Carol Belanger Grafton has selected 344 handsome and botanically accurate wood engravings from two notable botanical classics: Paxton's Flower Garden by John Lindley and Sir Joseph Paxton, 1850-53; and The Natural History of Plants: Their Forms, Growth, Reproduction, and Distribution by Anton Kerner von Marilaun and F. W. Oliver, 1902.Illustrations include exquisitely detailed renderings of flowers and other plant features of exotic specimens from around the world: passionflower, baobab, spider lily, hop, quaking grass, mourning cypress, American mangrove, wayfaring tree, Christmas rose, Indian rhododendron, false indigo, winged pea, Persian walnut. cat's-claw mimosa, Bhutan cypress, and many more.The engravings encompass a broad spectrum of plant forms: trees, shrubs, aquatic and climbing plants, evergreens, vines, brushes, herbs, various perennials, and others. Orchids are especially well represented; over 10 percent of the illustrations in this volume depict orchids. Each illustration is accompanied by an identifying caption that provides the scientific name and a brief description of the plant, its native region, and if it is a flower, the coloration of the blossoms.The clarity and accuracy of these engravings is striking; they are well-suited to reproduction for almost any graphic purpose. Moreover, all illlustrations are royalty-free; no prior permission or fee is required for their use. Invaluable to graphic artists in need of a comprehensive archive of unusual floral illustrations, this versatile reference will delight botanists, naturalists, flower lovers, and any admirer of exotic plants that are depicted with the meticulous clarity and detail of fine engravings.Binding Type: Paperback

Very nice if you aren't too pick on actual color.
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Blue
Colors may vary. I really liked this, it was the perfect size and that perfect combination of soft and fluffy, but not being "too fluffy" and looking like a shaggy dog that needed a haircut. My only complaint was the color. Supposed to be blue, and I know monitors and lighting distort stuff but this was an obvious turquoise/teal. Much much greener than I was looking for. I could have made any variant of an actual blue work from powder baby to practically navy, but not this. I had to return, but other than the color, this seemed to be a very nice rug. Sad the color was so off.

Furnished Apartment? Quality!! Instant upgrade
Size: 2'6" x 6'6", Color: Ivory White, Size: 2'6" x 6'6", Color: Ivory White
I was concerned about ordering sheepskin online. So many scams & faux fur. And Wow!
Holy Moly - I’m so impressed. I’m from Hudson Valley NY - lots of sheep farmers - I know fur!
These are fabulous!
Bigger than the others online
Thick and full piles and beyond soft
These are beautiful - I’ve now ordered 3
If you’re a renter and furniture came with the rental - these can transform your space!
The colors are beautiful and appear very natural
PS: Do not expect bleached white color
And you really wouldn’t want it
I have allergies and chemical reactions
These are beautiful, supple and natural
They come with a linen bag, cleaning brush and care instructions
I’m so pleasantly surprised and maybe a bit obsessed with the quality of the pieces that arrived. You won’t regret this one!
I’ve ordered the white - over 6ft long draping my love seat. The brown - for two dining chairs that I easily move around. The photos explain - enjoy.
