Includes drawn vignettes by Richard Shirley Smith from the Florilegium. Perfect bound soft cover. The Highgrove Florilegium (London: Addison Publications Ltd., 2008–2009) was published for The Prince's Charities Foundation. It is a two–volume fine art facsimile of original watercolors by several botanical artists of plants and trees growing at Highgrove in Gloucestershire, the home of TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. The print run was limited to 175 numbered copies (at £10,950 per copy) with a preface signed by HRH The Prince of Wales. Richard Shirley Smith's vignettes of features from the Highgrove garden were used as endpapers and throughout the text.
