Men Around Linnaeus by Annika Silander Hokerberg spotlights the circle of 18th-century botanists, artists and patrons who helped Carl Linnaeus shape modern plant science. This vintage 2000 illustrated hardcover pairs concise biographies with period paintings, herbarium sheets and garden plans, making it a pocket-sized visual feast for readers interested in botany, art history and the Enlightenment.

The 104-page picture book is clean, tight and free of notes or dog ears; only the first blank page shows a faint watermark and light crease. Its sturdy binding and crisp colour plates suit both armchair collectors and young adults exploring nature studies, art theory or the history of scientific illustration.

Collectors of antiquarian nature books, gardeners fascinated by Linnaean plant names, and art lovers drawn to botanical illustration will enjoy this accessible introduction to the figures who immortalised Sweden’s wild and garden flowers. Gift-ready from a smoke-free home, this gently used copy offers an affordable entry into the world of Linnaeus and the men who carried his ideas across Europe.
