1978 First Edition The Illuminated Language of Flowers – Kate Greenaway Illustrations, Jean Marsh Text (Hardcover)

This 1978 first edition captures the Victorian language of flowers through Kate Greenaway's exquisite illustrations and Jean Marsh's thoughtful text—a visual exploration of how over 700 plants conveyed secret meanings and folklore. The oatmeal cloth boards are pristine with a crisp monogram debossing, while the included dust jacket bears authentic vintage patina. With 78 pages of full-colour plates and a botanical index, it's a beautiful volume for display or a collector of illustrated botanical knowledge.
