Georgiana Burne-Jones arranged for this reproduction of her husband's exquisite watercolors after his death. He created these images for his own pleasure and did not intend for them to be published. They were fantasy interpretations of flowers and the subjects which their names suggest. In true Pre-Raphaelite style, many of these exquisite images draw on both the Bible and Arthurian legends.
