Beauties of flora, and outlines of botany : with a language of flowers : a perennial offering / by John B. Newman ; the whole illustrated by splendidly colored engravings by Lewis & Brown.
A popular American flower book and botany primer with a floral dictionary, written by John B. Newman and engraved and hand-colored by Lewis & Brown for Edward Kearney of New York in 1848, aimed at general readers and gift-buyers. The plates set single stems and small bouquets against bare toned paper in flat, saturated color, useful for cut-out floral motifs and simple color palettes.
