Just the
other day I went to my regular book store to purchase a book on plant and
flower. This particular bookshop sells new and old books; the old books were
mostly imported from the UK. I wasn't sure whether I would find anything that
is worth buying when this old worn book caught my eyes. A Victorian Flower Album
and as I turned the pages my enthusiasm grew with each page, it is just what I
wanted to be able to see and read and paint if I needed to by referring to it.
It was actually a flower album compiled by Mr. Henry Terry in 1873 for his children,
Emily, Annie and Harry. A publisher chanced upon it and published it into a
book.
