Bush Flowers from Australia. By a daughter of the soil, author of “Woman's Worth.”
A small gift volume of verse and reflection on Australian wildflowers, published anonymously by "a daughter of the soil" through the London religious house J. Nisbet & Co. in 1866 for a home readership curious about the colonies. Hand-coloured plates mass heath, pea-flowers, waxflowers and everlastings into tight bouquets, while line-drawn initials and tailpieces hold winged dragon and bird heads among stippled foliage \u2014 a supply of both botanical colour and medievalising pen ornament.
