Flowers from Shakespeare's garden : a posy from the plays
A 1909 London anthology of Shakespeare passages on flowers, published by Cassell & Co. and illustrated by Walter Crane for general readers and lovers of literature. The colour plates show delicate, outlined figures in pale pink, green and yellow, dressed in flowing gowns among blossoms, which a designer could borrow for soft botanical patterns, Art Nouveau-influenced borders and fairy-like textile motifs.
