{"product_id":"plant-kingdoms-of-charles-jones","title":"Plant Kingdoms of Charles Jones","description":"First published in 1998 and now available for the first time in a compact, gift-book format,   The Plant Kingdoms of  Charles Jones   is an exquisite visual feast for anyone who draws  delight from the bountiful riches of nature. It presents more than 100 photographs of  vegetables, fruits and flowers, all taken by the same photographer at around the turn of the  20th century, and all set against neutral, dark or light backgrounds in the style of formal  studio `portraits'. The images have a wider significance in the history of photography and  of the still-life in general, as explained in the book's introduction by Robert Flynn Johnson.  For a contemporary audience, the photographs' simple and unembellished beauty is the  perfect antidote to appetites jaded by processed foods and 21st-century artifice. They  communicate and inspire a loving respect for the beauty in nature.","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32686370127957,"sku":"9780500544631N","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9780500544631.jpg?v=1598881637","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/plant-kingdoms-of-charles-jones","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
