About the Item

Image dimensions: 24.3 x 17.5 cm. Single sheet with passepartout. "...The unhappy man had approached that mysterious spot where, amid a thousand aquatic plants, the Water-arrow grows." T. Delord. Les Fleurs animées is a work published by Gabriel de Gonet in 1847 in two volumes. The illustrations of this book (52 steel engraved, hand colored plates) are by the French cartoonist J.J. Grandville, the text is by Taxtile Delord, while the introduction is by Alphonse Karr. In all the illustrations there are the images of women as flowers personified, clothed in courtly fashions blended with petals and leaves. From all the joys and the sorrows of each personified flower, moral lessons are taught. "Happy they who love flowers! Happy, indeed, if they love flowers alone!" A. Karr.
