Synopsis

Originally conceived as reference material for Blossfeldt’s work as an architect, sculptor and teacher, these photographs examine plant form with striking clarity. Leaves, buds, stems, seed pods, tendrils and twigs are recorded in crisp black-and-white, presented across 120 full-page plates.

This edition reproduces the original introduction and includes a publisher’s note and captions, offering a considered context for the images. Categorised under art: general, it suits readers interested in photographic studies of natural forms and visual reference material.
