Product Description

The stunning, specially commissioned cover illustrations are one of the great joys of the New Naturalist series, lending it a distinctive style which has inspired nature enthusiasts for many decades. The Collins New Naturalist series is the longest-running and arguably the most influential natural history series in the world with over 100 volumes published in over 60 years. Throughout the years, the highly characteristic dust jacket illustrations have become iconic, lifting the books to a level of collectibility and increasing the level of admiration for an already well-established and respected series. With early cover illustrations prepared by Clifford and Rosemary Ellis, later and more recent covers have been designed by Robert Gillmor. Featuring prints of the awe-inspiring artwork of the New Naturalists, the book will offer a unique insight into Gillmor's approach to each subject matter and the intricate and creative way through which he has brought his own distinctive style and craft of printmaking to the New Naturalist series. Marren explores the findings from the Ellis archive, which has thrown up considerable information on how the old covers were developed, approved, in some cases rejected, and then proofed. The Art of the New Naturalists offers a fascinating insight into how the creation of these eminent cover designs has developed and progressed and will be essential reading for everyone interested in the frantic workings behind the seemingly serene collection of artwork that is one of Britain's iconic book series.

He has written numerous other books, and writes regularly for the Independent and British Wildlife. Robert Gillmor, a founder member and past president of the Society of Wildlife Artists, is one of Britain's most influential wildlife illustrators.

pullet11 "pullet11" (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Art of the New Naturalists: A Complete History (Hardcover)

Always had an interest in the artwork behind New naturalist dust jackets. The book gives a beautifully illustrated review of both the Ellis' and Robert Gilmor's work. An excellent choice from Collins.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointment, 1 Dec 2010

K. Hambly-staite "Keith Hambly-Staite" (Cornwall, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Art of the New Naturalists: A Complete History (Hardcover)

As a collector of NT books both for their editorial content and the fabulous illustrations by Ellis and latterly Gilmour. Importantly it is not part of the famous NT series published from the beginning by Collins. I was very disappointed with this publication; one must assume that its size was to allow 'real size' illustrations but the cover design,quality of production and price makes this a 'miss' unless one is fanatical about having a complete set of publications 'inside' and 'outside' the NT series
