About this book

Language: Spanish

In 1913, the renowned Argentine naturalist Miguel Lillo conceived the idea for a titanic work that would classify all the Argentine flora. For more than thirty years, this project that began with him during his lifetime and was later continued by the Institute that bears his name in Tucumán involved the most important botanists in the country and a group of illustrators specializing in scientific illustration. The result was a large-format work made up of five volumes in seven books that began to be published in 1943 and ended in 1956. According to the press, it was "a true technical feat, from the double point of view of botanical science and from the national graphical arts". The Atlas de Botánica Argentina, which includes an introductory essay by researcher Carla Lois, recovers more than a hundred of those illustrations and, as a kind of well-deserved tribute, reconstructs the history of an unprecedented publishing project.

Summary in Spanish:
En 1913 el reconocido naturalista argentino Miguel Lillo concibió la idea de una obra titánica que clasificara toda la flora argentina. Durante más de treinta años ese proyecto que empezó con él en vida y luego fue continuado por el Instituto que lleva su nombre en Tucumán involucró a los más importantes botánicos del país y a un grupo de dibujantes especializado en ilustración científica. El resultado fue una obra de gran formato integrada por cinco volúmenes en siete tomos que empezó a publicarse en 1943 y concluyó en 1956. Según la prensa fue "un verdadero alarde técnico, desde el doble punto de vista de la ciencia botánica y desde las artes gráficas nacionales". Este Atlas de Botánica Argentina, que incluye un ensayo introductorio de la investigadora Carla Lois, recupera más de un centenar de aquellas ilustraciones y, como en una suerte de merecido homenaje, reconstruye la historia de un proyecto editorial sin precedentes.
