This exquisite survey presents a breathtaking sequence of full-page images - from landscape paintings and botanical drawings to ancient frescos, vintage book illustrations and contemporary photographs - revealing the tree as a source of inspiration throughout history.

Spanning continents and cultures, Tree reflects the diversity of its subject, depicting giant sequoias, cherry blossoms, palms, poplars, ginkgoes and other species found across Earth's forest biomes, in a wide-ranging selection of visuals dating from Ancient Greece to the present day. More than 300 images include Roman stone mosaics, illustrated Norse myths, Edo-period woodblock prints and living tree installations, each lavishly reproduced.

Curated by an international panel of botanists, naturalists, art historians and other experts, the images expand the definition of botanical art, together forming a vibrant, vital homage to the natural world.

Featured artists and contributors include: Ansel Adams, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Ruth Asawa, Paul Cezanne, Agnes Denes, Albrecht Durer, Caspar David Friedrich; Global Forest Watch, Andy Goldsworthy, Ernst Haeckel, Utagawa Hiroshige, Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Sally Mann, Grandma Moses, Marianne North, Pierre-Joseph Redoute, Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Sebastiao Salgado, and Yokohama Nursery Co., among others.
