Inspired by John Ingram’s 1887 edition of The Language of Flowers; or, Flora Symbolica, published in London and New York by Frederick Warne & Co., this book clutch celebrates the Victorian fascination with floriography: the art of giving flowers secret meanings. Ingram’s volume gathered floral symbolism, poetry, legends, and sentiment into a richly illustrated guide to a language once used to express affection, remembrance, hope, and longing. The design draws on that historic edition and its original coloured illustrations, creating a literary connection to nineteenth-century social ritual. A charming collectible for readers, garden lovers, romantics, and admirers of Victorian culture.
