Arthur Harry Church’s botanical art is very highly regarded and he produced his greatest pieces for his unfinished publication ‘Types of Floral Mechanism’. Several volumes were planned in which he wanted to describe and illustrate the development and structure of 100 of what he considered to be, the best flowers.
