A charming nineteenth-century French red-bound volume titled 'Nouveau Manuel des Fleurs Emblématiques', printed in Bar-sur-Seine. Books of this kind were part of the enduring language-of-flowers tradition, in which each bloom carried symbolic meaning in social exchange, gift giving, and courtship. The fold-out lithographic frontispiece adds particular decorative appeal.
A beautiful object for display in interiors, flat lays, or decorative library groupings.
