Synopsis
In One Hundred Butterflies, photographer Harold Feinstein showcases butterfly varieties from around the world, turning exquisite details into mesmerizing works of art. Feinstein's breathtaking photographs capture the color, vibrancy, and infinite variety of patterns that occur on the wings of these ornate insects. One hundred impeccably reproduced, oversized photographs allow viewers to appreciate the Blue Morpho of Central America, the African Birdwing, and the Asian Swallowtail at a scale and depth impossible to experience in nature. An elegantly printed deluxe gift book, it is a treasure for butterfly enthusiasts and art lovers alike.When the book arrived, both my kids were excited. The big pages, the colorful photos, the minimalist designed pages. Each page had a beautiful, colorful, full-bodied, detailed photo of a butterfly. The coffee table sized book was perfect for the kids to look at together. They have sat together to discuss the book over 3 times this week. Unfortunately being sick I wasn't able to get a picture yet but I will so watch for my amended post.
That book sounds so interesting! We usually only see plain white butterflies around here, although there is a Butterfly Museum nearby in Massachusetts!
ReplyDeleteI love butterflies too and a book about them would be wonderful to own. Looking forward to seeing your photos of the book.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book my kids will love!
ReplyDeleteThis books sounds just beautiful. Thank you for sharing. My little girl would LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteCool book. We got the Bear one and my kids love it. At first they thought they were drawings and not photos.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a huge butterfly fan and she would love this book! Thanks for sharing I know what one of her presents will be this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI also love butterflies, this is something I'm going to be asking Santa for, along with my $5,000 camera so I can take photos just like the ones in the book. HaHa
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great book! I love butterflies (who doesn't). In St. Louis we have The Butterfly House which is a fantastic place to go where they have an indoor tropical greenhouse filled with hundreds and hundreds of butterflies - you just walk around with them flying all around you. It's amazing!
