Atlas of mushrooms, I have a hard time finding good translation for that, I hope atlas is right. This one is from 1831-1846, it is big, 38 x 48 cm and has 76 plates. I do not have it, these pictures were taken in a library and published in another book. So, imagine it big, otherwise you do not get the image. It is a piece of art. I am more of a mushroom admirer than a hunter. However, I have to admit, there is something about going to forest and wander around and finding and picking them.
The title is VIncenc Julius Krombholz, Naturgetreue Abbildungen und Beschreibungen der essbaren und vedaechtigen Schwaemme, Praga, 1831 - 1846.
And thank you for showing empathy on my last post, the kid is jumping and running again, oh my god.

You could also say encyclopedia of mushrooms, but atlas also works. A great book. My Huzz would love this. He can identify a small number of mushrooms / fungi, but I'm always a little worried about tasting them just in case he got it wrong !!!
Really beautiful. I love all nature drawings and sketches. Now, photos replace them. Such a shame. I'm glad Dominik recovered.
Yes, botanical drawings are beautiful, I would like to have something on the wall. They say that mushroom atlases are best when they are drawn because you cannot get an ideal picture of all the features of a species at the same time when you just photograph it. So there is a hope.
I'm always in awe how skillful those artist have been who drew the natural history pictures. How they catch the detail and the right shades of colors. My neighbor has a huge antigue mushroom teaching picture on her living room wall - I'm green of envy, it's such a beautiful wall hanging.

Milý Michale, knihu nevlastním, ale stažené z internetu to není. Jsou to fotografie pořízené speciálně pro vydání knihy Mezi zvířetem a květinou: motiv houby v současném výtvarném umění, již jsem autorkou.
