BURNE-JONES, Sir Edward

The flower book
London
Henry Piazza et Cie., for the Fine Art Society
1905
€5.800,00

4to (33 x 26.5 cm), first edition, one of 300 copies, 38 colour plates after Burne-Jones, text printed in red and green, 4-page facsimile list of flower names at end, uncut in original cloth binding with text in gold

An good copy of these typically Arthurian-themed Pre-Raphaelite designs executed by Burne-Jones as a form of relaxation from other projects. ""The pictures in this book are not of flowers themselves, but of subjects suggested by their names...All the pictures take the same form, a circle about six inches in diameter - a kind of magic mirror in which the vision appears - and he wished them not to be separated, because, wide as is their scope, one spirit, that of pure fantasy, unites them."" (Georgiana Burne-Jones in preface).
