A Victorian Naturalist: Beatrix Potter's Drawings from the Armitt Collection by Mary Noble, Beatrix Potter

4.0

Wow. Just wow. Beatrix Potter is such a talented individual. Her life was far more than bunny books and silly stories about ducks. She was a serious student of nature, though none of her work could be taken seriously simply on the grounds that she was a woman. Looking at her mycology studies, she certainly gives us valuable specimen portraits, not to mention all of her animal studies.
