Description |
How often do we overlook bark, a frequently beautiful and always important
part of the plant, focusing instead on leaves, flowers, and the shape of the
trunk and branches? Hugues Vaucher, a Swiss watchmaker with a lifelong
fondness for trees and an eye for detail, illustrates the rich variety of
colours, patterns, and textures of bark with more than 550 photographs in
Tree Bark: A Colour Guide. Originally published in French and German in the
early 1990s, this new Timber Press edition has been improved and expanded to
include more than 440 species and varieties of trees from around the world. |
