Birds and flowers, or, Lays and lyrics of rural life
Birds and flowers, or, Lays and lyrics of rural life is an 1873 London and New York verse collection by Mary Howitt, with pictures by Hector Giacomelli, published by T. Nelson and Sons for children. The four pictures are wood-engraved vignettes of woodland, a glade with birch trees, a churchyard seen through foliage with a cross and roses, and a tree over a small stream, rendered in dense hatched line with light, open margins.
