Flowers and Heraldry; or Floral Emblems and Heraldic Figures

Absolutely fabulous book. It includes 24 emblazoned plates described in the front cover as "drawn (from the author's instructions) and coloured by James Andrews. Each plate is protected by a delicate tissue paper page and is clearly hand painted! Individually! Each book must have been made separately, what a feat. The colours are really bright. The edges of the pages are gilded. It has a longer title/description which is delightful "Combined to express pure sentiments, kind feelings, and excellent principles, in a manner at once simple, elegant, and beautiful.".
