Single sheet with passepartout. ''Delighted at finding themselves again united, after all theit vicissitudes, the chief flowers determined on giving a ball, before they should reassume their primitive forms.'' 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. See less
