Collecting Ladies by Penny Olsen spotlights the forgotten women who painted Australia’s native flora for Ferdinand von Mueller, the pioneering botanist who relied on their keen eyes and steady brushes. In crisp, illustrated pages, Olsen revives these 19th-century botanical artists and shows how their delicate work shaped colonial science.

This 2013 NLA Publishing paperback pairs 237 pages of art history with lush reproductions of wildflowers, garden blooms, and field sketches. Non-fiction readers who love nature illustration, women’s history, or Australian plants will find the volume both scholarly and browsable.

The copy is in very good shape: tight binding, unmarked pages, no smoke odor—ready for gift-giving or a spot on the collector’s shelf.
