The Rhs Desk Diary

Description

The RHS Diary 2010 showcases the work of Lilian Snelling MBE (1879-72), in particular her mature style, which formed the outstanding model for the British botanical artists of the latter half of the 20th Century. After studying at the Royal College of Art, London, Lilian became a professional artist, contributing the illustrations to the supplements of Henry Elwes' Monograph of the Genus Lilium. From 1916-21, she worked at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh and in 1922 she became the principal illustrator of Curtis's Botanical Magazine and continued there until 1952. The RHS Diary 2010 has a week to view and is illustrated in colour throughout. Includes storage pocket on the inside back cover. Companion address book available.
