A Victorian Flower Album : Book of Days

A Victorian Flower Album : Book of Days by The Godfrey Cave Group. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781854711205.

The attractive flower paintings which fill this perpetual diary are the painstaking work of Henry terry who painted them in 1873 for his children - Emily, Annie and harry - who shared his enthusiastic love of nature. The Wildflowers collected by the children are captured in watercolor and held in all their glory - a testimony to a time when life went by at a more leisurely pace. This diary is another opportunity to enjoy some of the pictures and to reflect over the rarity of some of the specimens which in the lifetime of the author would have been commonplace in meadows and woods around the country. This diary is one to keep and enjoy and a reminder during the dark days of winter that spring is but round the corner.
