Reflecting the broad range of accomplishment common among Victorian gentlemen, Frederick Edward Hulme (1841-1909) was the author of works on art, plants, heraldry, cryptography, proverbs, flags, wildflowers and other topics. In this rare volume of floral designs, he drew upon his botanical and artistic knowledge to create a host of motifs designed to instruct art students in the proper treatment of floral forms. Over 230 copyright-free illustrations depict an attractive array of floral and foliate motifs in a striking variety of colors matched to a broad range of fanciful designs. Formats include borders, repeats, geometric forms, allover patterns and much more. Bold in form and striking in their inspiration, these authentic Victorian designs are carefully reproduced here for practical and inspirational use by today's artists and craftspeople. Illustrators and graphic designers will also find a wealth of material for use in interior, advertising and textile design.

A charming, gorgeously illustrated botanical encyclopedia for your favorite romantic, local witch, bride-to-be, or green-thumbed friend. Floriography is a full-color guide to the historical uses and secret meanings behind an impressive array of flowers and herbs. The book explores the coded significances associated with various blooms, from flowers for a lover to flowers for an enemy. The language of flowers was historically used as a means of secret communication. It soared in popularity during the 19th century, especially in Victorian England and the U.S., when proper etiquette discouraged open displays of emotion. Mysterious and playful, the language of flowers has roots in everything from the characteristics of the plant to its presence in folklore and history. Researched and illustrated by popular artist Jessica Roux, this book makes a stunning display piece, conversation-starter, or thoughtful gift.
