Summary "In this volume, Debra N. Mancoff, an expert on Pre-Raphaelite art and the floral lexicon, presents numerous breathtaking examples, which illuminate the meaning of flowers in all aspects of Victorian culture. She offers brief commentaries on individual paintings as well as biographies of the period's leading artists and their models. An introduction to an artistic movement, this exquisitely produced book is also a romantic keepsake of an artistic sensibility that speaks volumes."--Jacket
