The Language and Sentiment of Flowers (1867)

This beautifully illustrated full color hard back book celebrates the coded Victorian Era Language of Flowers. This coded language became so refined in the nineteenth century, this dictionary was necessary for any Victorian.  With this book, one could send a message of reproach, passion, friendship, quarrel or a myriad of other sentiments via a simple bouquet without ever penning a single word.

A beautiful gift for yourself or any Victorian Era aficionado!
