These original hand-coloured floral prints are from The Flowers of Shakespeare by Jane Elizabeth Giraud, Published privately, Faversham, 1845.
These prints are beautifully illustrated and are accompanied by a quotation from Shakespeare’s plays. Each print has the identifier ‘J.E.G. del et lith’, and all were printed by Day & Haghe, lithographers to the Queen.
This charming Victorian work of delightful floral bouquets is now very scarce. Each print was brilliantly hand-coloured and then highlighted with gum Arabic.
