Yesterday I stumbled upon 17 (of 18) volumes of Wild Flowers of America circa 1894.... 16 lithographed flowers in each volume and I feel like I could spend the rest of my afternoon taking pictures of the pretty details.. I'm going to be adding the plates to Libris Lunaria - Vol. 1 is already up... Vol. 2 is next!
I've just spent the afternoon photocopying tons of books on flowers, and came across no illustrations quite as pretty as these.
