Science & Nature Fantasy Art, Design & Photography
Una Woodruff’s lavish 1981 picture book Amarant: The Flora & Fauna of Atlantis invites collectors into a mythical botanic field guide, its pages alive with delicate watercolor petals, leaves, and winged creatures said to thrive in the lost continent. Every spread pairs imaginative fantasy text with the artist’s precise natural-history plates, fusing folklore and botanical art in the way that made Paper Tiger editions cult treasures.
The hardback arrives with its original illustrated dust jacket, protected by a tight, square binding that feels reassuringly solid in hand. Inside, light foxing touches only the front papers and a faint crease or two lies unobtrusively within—no margin notes, no dog ears, no smoke or musty scent, just a clean copy ready for display.
Fantasy enthusiasts, mythology lovers, and vintage illustration hunters alike search for this long-out-of-print gem, and clean copies seldom surface at approachable prices. Secure this gently read 1981 first edition before it disappears again beneath the waves of collector demand.
