Description

For almost a century, W. A. Bentley caught and photographed thousands of snowflakes in his workshop at Jericho, Vermont, and made to be had to scientists and art instructors samples of his remarkable work. His painstakingly prepared images were remarkable revelations of nature’s diversity in uniformity: no two snowflakes are exactly alike, but all are in keeping with a common hexagon.
In 1931, the American Meteorological Society gathered the most efficient of Bentley’s photos and had them published; that work has long been to be had in a Dover reprint edition. The present volume features a collection of 72 of the most efficient plates (containing over 850 royalty-free, black-and-white photographs), carefully selected from that larger collection.
An inexhaustible source of design inspiration for artists, designers, and craftspeople, these graceful patterns are perfect for use in textile and wallpaper design, in addition to a host of other creative projects. These images will also appeal to any person intrigued by the intricacy and wonderful thing about design in the wildlife.
