Cabinet of curiosities, of a 19th century naturalist

Passionate naturalist, Jean-Baptiste Barla, realized several thousand watercolours, of which more than a hundred have been brought together in this book. The extraordinary aesthetic quality of these works is added to by the eminently scientific character of the composition: orchids, thistles, edible plants, fish and mushrooms, all showing the freshness and unsurpassed accuracy, which constitutes this cabinet of curiosities.
