Considered Shakespeare's favorite flower, the viola, also known as a pansy, caused a floral craze during Victorian era sparking the use of the humble posy in perfume, candies, cakes, art, and of course, gardens. This Victorian inspirational book merges quotes from the titan of English literature with beautiful pansy artwork.
The antique book is a bit shabby chic showing some obvious wear on the padded moire fabric cover. The floral lithograph illustrations are beautiful.
