This beautiful vintage edition of The Illuminated Language of Flowers Illustrated by Kate Greenaway was published in 1978 by Holt Rinehart & Winston, New York. The book still has it's original dust jacket - this has some wear and tear to the edges. There is minor marking to the shiny paper.
Inside, the DJ is clipped and there are no inscriptions or dedications. The pages show minimal wear - just some very minor age toning. The book features stunning illustrations by Kate Greenaway to accompany text by Jean Marsh.
Dimensions approximately 26cm x 22.3cm x 1.2cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubbled wrap is biodegradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
