This original hand-coloured floral print of Pansies, Violets, Asphodel etc is from The Flowers of Milton by Jane Elizabeth Giraud, Published privately, Faversham, 1846.

This charming Victorian work of delightful floral bouquets is now very scarce.

Each print was brilliantly hand-coloured and then highlighted with gum Arabic.

Condition: The print is in excellent condition – please inspect the image carefully as it is very accurate.
