Book excerpt: Vintage Art: 20 Botanical Photography Prints features a collection of curated macrophotography by Karl Blossfeldt, a self taught German photographer (1865-1932). This book highlights some of the beautiful photography from Blossfeldt's book Urformen der Kunst (Archetypes of Art) (1928). He photographed an array of plants, flowers, leaves, and seeds in close detail, by magnifying them several times thus producing images that captured the realism of nature. The prints are one sided and can be removed from the book by either using a box cutter or scissors, the illustrations are ideal for either framing or art and craft projects.
