About this title

About the Author:

Peter Arnold's work as a fine art photographer and pictorial artist is known internationally. His best-selling books, Orchids, Tulips, and Bulbs in Bloom have become classics of flower photography.

From Library Journal:

Photographer Arnold, noted for his beauty and nature photographs, here fashions a stunning book that would grace anyone's coffee table but that has limited value for most libraries. Other than a brief historical introduction, a one-page listing of suppliers of bulbs, and a single page on tulip classification, there is no text. By far the greater part of Arnold's book consists of 70 pages of full-page color photos of tulips, in close-up, usually against a white or black background, often a single specimen. There is a "Pictorial Index" of the photographs in miniature. Recommended only for comprehensive collections in photography and botanical illustration.
