Download or read book Official Guide to the North Gallery written by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and published by Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. This book was released on 1914 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marianne North, an unmarried middle-aged Victorian lady of comfortable means, set off in 1891 on her first expedition to make a pictorial record of the tropical and exotic plants of the world. She produced more than 800 paintings which are housed in a special gallery at Kew. Republished after 85 years thisfacsimile of the 6th edition of the Official Guide to the North Gallery remains an instructive publication to the unique collection of paintings by Marianne North and the gallery.The pictures, painted by North in-situ in the countries indicated and arranged by her in the gallery, have hung in the positions she allocated for them since 1882. The guide does not just dwell on the beauty of the paintings; it also relates the plants and landscapes painted to Kew, its great glasshouses and museums. One hundred and thirty seven years on, it is hard to improve on the praise lavished by the Gardener's Chronicle 'the skilful dashing works of a true artist, which completely succeeds in showing Nature as she is' and the words of Sir Joseph Hooker who saw the paintings as a record of plants 'already disappearing or shortly to disappear before the axe and forest fire'.

The first steps towards the establishment of a Botanic Garden proper in Dominica were taken near the close of 1889, and in January, 1891 the present site was purchased by the Government. Previous to this time a small nursery had been maintained in the grounds of Government House. The first Curator in Dominica was Mr. Charles Murray, of the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, who was appointed in September, 1889. He was transferred to Grenada in the following year, and succeeded by Mr. Henry F. Green in August, 1890. To Mr. Green fell the work of beginning the laying out of the grounds of the present garden. Mr. Green resigned in February, 1892, and was succeeded by the present Curator, Sir. Joseph Jones, of the Royal Gardens, Kew, who took up his duties in March, 1892. Objects of the Garden. At the time the Garden was originally established, careful consideration was given to the purpose which it should serve, as will be seen from the following passages by Dr. (now Sir Daniel) Morris in the Kew Bulletin for 1891: "Great stress has been laid on the objects in view in establishing this Botanical Station at Dominica.
