Abstract

Botanist Čedomil Šilić, PhD, is known for
numerous scientific works, but equally for scientific-
popular and popular works. The peculiarity
of all his works is that, in addition to the text part,
they also contain numerous original drawings and
photographs. The presence of this component in
the works of a naturalist, at the time when Šilić created
them, was not a frequent occurrence. Thanks
to his great talent in artistic expression, through
original photographs and drawings, Šilić’s works
become very recognizable, read with pleasure and
often cited in the works of other authors. Šilić can
be classified as a very successful naturalist, but
also an artist. This second definition of Šilić’s creativity
is contained in the excellent photographs included in his works with an undoubted artistic
expression.
