Book excerpt: For this exceptionally comprehensive and useful collection, the author has selected over 700 royalty-free floral illustrations from a variety of rare 19th-century publications. Carefully chosen for attractiveness and appeal are bouquets of mixed florals; single blossoms of exquisite roses, calla lilies, and tulips; delicate sprays of daisies and apple blossoms; wreaths woven of wildflowers; nasturtium borders; and much more. Delightful vignettes of a child tending her garden, a young couple sharing thoughts in a turn-of-a-century greenhouse, and dozens of other appealing scenes round out this charming sourcebook of immediately usable floral motifs. Their crisp detail, reproducibility, and charming old-time flavor make them ideal for a myriad of graphic projects.
