The Country Flowers of a Victorian Lady

Such charming paintings !

This is so feminine and wonderful. A true masterpiece for anyone who loves Victoriana and flowers

Lovely Botanical illustration, with historical meaning to each

Lovely book good price

Contains plates from the original book with a short explanation about the flowers and their meanings. The plates are lovely and I have found the language of flowers really interesting and didn't realise it was so detailed, ie: if a bow is tied to the right it has one meaning, if it is tied to the left another. As most of the plates contain a number of flowers in a bouquet or posy, by placing the flowers together a more complex message could be conveyed.

Worth the price

This type of diary is my favorite. I enjoy reading the diary, it takes me back to the Victorian Romantic era.

As described

Love the images.

I ordered this thinking I could use it as ephemera, but it’s too pretty to take it apart. So I will keep it as is unless I find another one.Slimmer than I thought but lovely.

Il libro è bellissimo. Il venditore è stato molto corretto. Probabilmente per un disguido postale non era arrivato il libro e me ne hanno spedito subito un'altro.

No sé si es el libro más bonito que he tenido, sino se le acerca muchísimo. Es una maravilla. Según dice en el libro son las laminas botánicas de una mujer victoriana, son unas acuarelas encantadoras con una descripción caligráfica obra de una autentica artista. Las laminas originales se pueden ver en el museo Victoria & Albert. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, sepa o no inglés.

価格の割に、とてもきれいな商品が届きました。ジャンクジャーナルに使用しようと思っていましたが、きれいなのでもったいなくて使えません。本棚に飾っておきます。
