Product details
NEVER INTENDED FOR PUBLICATION, THIS IS A LITTLE BOOK THAT WAS HANDWRITTEN BY A HUSBAND AS A PRESENT TO HIS WIFE ON THEIR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY ON 8 AUGUST 1913 . NOT A LARGE BOOK BUT IT HAS OVER 700 ENTRIES OF FLOWERS AND PLANTS AND THEIR MEANINGS - EACH PAGE NEATLY WRITTEN IN CALLIGRAPHY AND SENSITIVELY DECORATED . THIS IS A FACSIMILE OF THE ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN BOOK PUBLISHED BY MICHAEL JOSEPH IN 1971. THE FOLLOWING IS A QUOTE FROM THEIR DAUGHTER, MARGARET PICKSON -
"The Meaning Of Flowers was a present from my Father to Mother on their golden wedding anniversary. Instead of buying her a brooch or bracelet, he hit upon the happy plan of writing and illustrating a little book for her, which has now been resurrected from some forgotten drawer and published in this newer edition."
THERE IS AN INSCRIPTION IN THE FRONT OF THE BOOK BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT IS IN GOOD, CLEAN, NEAT CONDITION (PAGES OF COURSE BEING A FACSIMILE OF ORIGINAL BOOK'S CONDITION) - 15.5CM X 13CM WITH 42 PAGES. REFER IMAGES
