Margaret Mee’s In Search of Flowers of the Amazon Forests pairs the celebrated botanical artist with travel writer Tony Morrison to trace her 1950s–1980s journeys deep into South America’s vanishing rainforests. This 1989 hardcover reproduces Mee’s vivid field sketches and finished watercolors alongside diary excerpts that capture both the wonder and fragility of jungle flora.

Collectors praise the large-format, jacketed Nonesuch Expeditions edition for its gallery-quality plates; every page block remains crisp and unmarked in this gently used copy. The 302-page volume sits square and tight, free of writing, tears, or dog-ears—only light edge wear on the dust jacket hints at its vintage 1980s origin.

Perfect for lovers of botanical art, natural history, and Amazon travel memoirs, the book doubles as a conservation time capsule, documenting orchids and bromeliads in habitats now greatly altered. Add Margaret Mee and Tony Morrison’s illustrated chronicle to your shelf and own a piece of rainforest beauty preserved in both word and image.
