FLOWERS: THEIR MORAL, LANGUAGE, AND POETRY

Description

This is an exquisite little hardback book, 9cm by 14cm by 2cm. There is a little foxing on a few pages but over all very good clean condition for its age.  Postage and packing is included in the price.

“Flowers: Their Moral, Language, and Poetry” by H.G. Adams is a fascinating book that delves into the symbolic meanings, moral lessons, and poetic representations of various flowers. Published in the mid-19th century, it reflects the Victorian era’s deep interest in the language of flowers, also known as floriography.

Scholars believe that this work is important enough to be preserved and reproduced, with modern reprints still available. However this is a very early edition printed by Halifax, Milner and Sowerby in 1856.
