Symbolic meanings have been attributed to flowers since ancient times – in religion, heraldry, painting, literature and everyday life. In the 19th century, flowers gave lovers the opportunity to open up to each other without breaking strict rules of conduct: they could be used to convey messages in the most charming way. Thus, a real, carefully crafted language gradually emerged – the language of flowers, Lingua Flora.
This fascinating book will introduce you to the language of flowers from two points of view: historical and modern. The illustrative basis for the first part was an exquisite collection of 19th-century watercolors – “The Book of Memory”, created by Fanny Robinson, a talented artist and passionate lover of flowers. In the second part, the authors continue to explore the world of flowers using the works of other artists, showing what influence flowers had on people in the past and what role they play today.
