The Art of The Snowflake: A Photographic Album
The perfect geometry and exquisite beauty
of nature is nowhere so clear to us as in
the snowflake. But how have we been able to
appreciate this infinitesimal wonder in all
its crystalline glory? This book, as much a
work of art as a testament to science,
reveals how one of the snowflakes most
inspired photographers came to such
intimate knowledge of his craft and its
fleeting focus.
Beautiful pictures illustrate Kenneth
Libbrechts story of the microphotography of
snow crystals, from the pioneering work of
Wilson Bentley in the 1890s right up to
Kens own innovations in our age of digital
images. A breathtaking look at the works of
art that melt in an instant, this is a book
to page through and savor, season after
season.
