Margaret Mee e a Flor da Lua

Elegant, intrepid, and headstrong––Margaret Mee was one of the world’s greatest botanical illustrators and conservationists. Living in Brazil for over three decades and with 15 expeditions into the Amazon Rainforest, Mee has cultivated an important body of work by documenting some of the world’s rarest species of plant. Her illustrations are, up to this date, a valuable resource for botanical science research and her technique gave her recognition as one of the most important illustrators in Europe.
