Book review by Kathleen Garness of "The Album of Plant Families: An Illustrated Exploration of Nature’s Beauty and Bounty."" by Wendy Hollender. Abbeville Press
The 2026 opening issue of the Journal of Natural Science Illustration (Volume 58, Number 1) explores how art connects scientific knowledge with culture, education, and the natural world.
Little Beasts has abundant, detailed images and essays tracing European natural history’s evolution from the 15th–17th centuries. It highlights Flemish artists Joris Hoefnagel and Jan van Kessel’s influential work, showing how art helped document and disseminate knowledge of nature’s diversity during the Renaissance.
