Sadly the book is missing it's title page but after some research, I've discovered that Saunders and Otley published these books in the 1830's and 1840's - so the book is from the early Victorian era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternally, it's bound in original grey cloth with gilt lettering and detail to the spine. It's in good condition but there is sunning to the spine and crushing to the spine ends. The boards show rubbing and there is mottled discolouration to the back board (possible damp damage). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, as mentioned above, the title page has been removed. There is also a tiny are of loss to the top corner of the FFEP. The pages show age toning and heavy foxing throughout, and some of the pages show faint water staining. There are six beautiful hand coloured plates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions approximately 13.7cm x 9.4cm x 2.5cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57535526961525,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/9271\/8525\/files\/A6318386-9D8B-4D0D-9386-81C442E63274.jpg?v=1788105452","url":"https:\/\/thevintagebookworm.co.uk\/products\/1857-the-language-of-flowers-an-alphabet-of-floral-emblems-illuminated-colour-plates-copy","provider":"The Vintage Bookworm UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
