Footnote
The Flower Book by Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) is a series of 38 round watercolours, each about six inches across, painted from 1882 to 1898. They were painted for his private pleasure, many while he was resting at his summer home in Rottingdean and were described by his wife as the "most soothing piece of work that he ever did". On his death, Burne-Jones left the album of flower paintings to his wife Georgiana, and she published a facsimile edition of 300 copies in 1905 in cooperation with the Fine Art Society in London.
