**《19th Century British Manuscript Florals Vintage Book》** Length 19.5 x Width 26 x Depth 2.5 cm Published in the 1980s / Hardcover Edition https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4850/45256690954_479c483f81_o.jpg I've been searching for floral illustrations accompanied by handwritten notes. I simply love this atmosphere of recorded details; it feels very documentary and precious. This vintage book, published in 1985, features over 300 printed manuscript illustrations from 19th century Britain. These floral manuscripts were likely drawn by aristocrats during the Victorian era, then compiled and published by British scholars. I personally highly recommend this book :) https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4914/44164796790_bdf831461b_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4816/45256690624_bfa71a5da4_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4905/44164796860_9e9b21426b_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4833/45256690724_654a9e3ce6_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4875/44164796970_9e9d601032_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4825/45256690834_ff0bdf7af8_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4811/44164797040_d70c21905f_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4814/44164797100_ee36419ffa_o.jpg / As shown in the image below, this is how we packaged previous shipments / https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4907/45931599722_6439589035_o.jpg **【 Please Note 】** __**✓ This is a used vintage book, so it will have normal signs of wear: such as creases, minor smudges, and small page damages.**__ https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4874/45068896825_8d64e5e3fe_o.jpg **✓ There may be handwritten annotations inside.** **✓ The spine and corners of the book show slight wear.** ✓ Overall, the condition is well-preserved! ✓ All photos are taken in natural light.

The colors are very elegant and tasteful, complemented by relevant descriptive text. I really appreciate the quality conveyed on this page. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4896/44164794370_58c0c9d147_o.jpg __No.3 Hop Cones / Hops__ I am simply drawn to the gentle color palette used in its illustration, evoking a wonderful vintage atmosphere. I hadn't encountered this particular plant during my previous floral studies, so I even looked it up in an encyclopedia. It's a lovely plant with cones. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4914/45256687654_491b04ff13_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4886/44164794120_03f2fb4fc5_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4868/44164794460_814da0cde9_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4867/45256687584_00f200846e_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4880/44164794600_fb4ee1d3ce_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4899/45931585982_f49fd12f96_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4905/45256687444_c8990762dd_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4873/45256687774_4b40352e16_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4837/45931586152_dbd9e9332b_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4852/44164794550_4971cc8166_o.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4854/45931586332_61cb8846ac_o.jpg ______________________________________ ** // Parcel Shipping to China, Hong Kong, and Macau //** **We recommend using Pinkoi's international forwarding service.** **It's faster, more convenient, and more affordable!** International Forwarding Process ↓↓ https://pinkoi.zendesk.com/hc/zh-tw/articles/115003840213-%E5%9C%8B%E9%9A%9B%E8%BD%89%E9%81%8B%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E6%B5%81%E7%A8%8B ______________________________________ **/ Important Information Before Purchase /** Each vintage item is personally and meticulously sourced by us, both domestically and internationally.
