Edward Burne-Jones - illustration from The Flower Book


gouache.
26 of the original (38 I believe) illustrations are in the British Museum. BJ began working on these in 1882 and continued until his death. He developed a secret symbolism for each flower.
13 x 10.5"

    Good question and I don't know. I wasn't sure of the medium either but will try to find out.
