Abstract

This review presents the main guidelines Atlas de botánica argentina (2022), a volume edited by Ampersand that recovers the gestation of the Genera et species plantarum argentinarum, an extensive project initiated by the naturalist Miguel Ignacio Lillo (1862-1954) in 1913. With introduction of Carla Lois, the book focuses on introducing the ways of development of scientific illustration, the role of the Argentine illustrators in the preparation of the volumes, their works and the validity of a visual practice that has its own historical genealogy between art and science.
