Publisher's Synopsis

The Illustrated Language Of Flowers is a book written by Anna Christian Burke and first published in 1856. This book is a guide to the Victorian tradition of using flowers to convey specific messages and emotions. Each flower is given a symbolic meaning and is accompanied by a beautiful illustration. The book covers a wide range of flowers, including roses, lilies, daisies, and more. The meanings assigned to each flower are often based on their appearance or historical significance. For example, the rose represents love and passion, while the daisy is associated with innocence and purity. The book also includes a section on the language of herbs and trees. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the cultural practices of the Victorian era and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the symbolism of flowers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
