Off-white simulated leather with gilt title and gilt flower decoration, bordered all around in triple gilt fillet on upper board, the border mirrored in blind stamp on lower board. All edges gilt. Olive green endpapers, two spine-back tapes laid under mull. 80 pages total; the first six of which are unnumbered, page 7 being the first of the text proper. Boards measure 152 x 118mm; 12mm deep overall. Binding FAIR to GOOD (spine back detached at upper joint exposing hollow, with some associated chipping, 3cm spine head loss and 0.5cm spine foot loss; boards somewhat rubbed with moderate wear to extremeties, but gilt still bright; moderate binding split endpaper/page 1, otherwise soundly sewn; front free endpaper four small pencil notations top corner, rear free endpaper dog ear crease bottom corner). Book block, text and illustration VERY GOOD (no foxing, but some faint offsetting; occasional small signs of page turnings, small smudge to bottom of page 15). This title is Kate Greenaway's (1846-1901) Victorian illustrated contribution to the popular adult conversation about the meanings inherent in flowers that began in the 1830's and continued into the early 20th century. One of the eighteen titles, plus most of the "Almanack" series, printed by Edmund Evans (1826-1905, ret. 1898), the celebrated engraver artist of colour reproduction and printing entrepreneur who also collaborated with Walter Crane and Ralph Caldecott. Greenaway's work in association with Evans from 1877 to 1895 made her a star of the British publishing industry at home and abroad. The vogue of Greenaway gift books, calenders, cards, assorted spin-offs and imitations was in full commercial sway during the 1880's and continues, to a lesser degree, into the present. Visually appealing to juveniles and young ladies, her Victorian children's books were just as often enjoyed by adults, as was common for the time. Language of Flowers is even more oriented to the older reader, with a heavier subject and fewer scenes of childhood reverie. The first half of the book (pp7-47) is an abecedary of flowers, with corresponding word or phrase, each page with one to three lovely illustrations. The second part (pp48-60) is an alphabetical list of words and phrases with the flower associated with that emotion or meaning. The third part (pp61-79) is a short anthology of the poetry of flowers by some of the flowers of poetry. The last page (p80) is titled "illustrations", in the sense of examples, in that it is an index to the alphabet of the first part, with a flower & trait chosen to illustrate 80 pages: colour illustrations; 16cm.. more information
