A flower wedding : described by two wallflowers

Crane, Walter, 1845-1915, Kean, Elizabeth d'Hauteville, former owner. DSI · 1905 · [London] : Cassell & Company · 19 pictures

A flower wedding is a 1905 illustrated children's book published in London by Cassell & Company, written as a verse account by two wallflowers and illustrated by Walter Crane. The pictures show flower-petalled fairy figures in pastel colour, with rhymed text set in decorative capitals, and a designer might take from them the delicate line work, soft pale palette and whimsical botanical costume.
