Discover the hidden meanings behind every bloom with **Gill Davies and Gill Saunders' *The Secret Language of Flowers***. This captivating book explores the rich symbolism attributed to flowers throughout history—in religion, heraldry, art, literature, and daily life. In the 19th century, flowers offered lovers a discreet yet enchanting way to express their feelings, adhering to strict social codes while conveying heartfelt messages. Over time, this gave rise to a sophisticated, carefully developed language known as Lingua Flora.
This engaging volume presents the language of flowers from two distinct perspectives: historical and contemporary. The first part is beautifully illustrated by a stunning collection of 19th-century watercolors from The Book of Memory, created by the talented botanical artist and passionate flower enthusiast Fanny Robinson. The second part expands the exploration with works from other artists, examining how flowers influenced people in the past and continue to shape our world today.
Whether you are a history lover, an art enthusiast, or simply curious about nature's secret codes, this book offers a fascinating journey into the symbolic power of flowers. Available now for 1297.00 RUR.
