About the Book


What will you find inside Herbarium Vitae – Roses & Peonies

This book takes us through a set of exquisite floral images of Roses and Peonies. Atkey’s artistry is detailed and precise but this, set against a more minimal book design, provides an alternative but fun way to showcase her fantastic, artistic abilities.

In this book, alongside the whimsical and beautiful floral illustrations, Atkey also interjects with fuller illustrations of these plants in situ and also scenes which draw on the key theme of this book. Laden with subtle and peaceful colour tones, each image touches on the beauty of Atkey’s floral subjects.

“Herbarium Vitae” is part of an exciting new book series that NHP Publishing and Phoebe Atkey are developing together – Herbarium & Animalium – and that encompass through precise and sharp illustrations the worlds of plants, trees, animals and possibily minerals and other elements.
