Book Description
A collection of charming hand-drawn wildflowers from the Victorian Era. In the Victorian era, one father sketched wildflowers in the hills of Oxfordshire, making notes and observations for each flower for his daughters. This book is a compilation of those charming illustrations. You will find heartwarming hand-drawn flowers that still grow wild in many places today, along with a detailed glossary including each flower's botanical name. This book can be used as a fine floral encyclopedia, but it is also a good reference book for designers and illustrators. It also makes a wonderful gift for any lover of flowers or botanical illustration. A Victorian Flower Album was originally published in 1873, and this new edition includes commentary by Hiroshi Unno (author/contributor for PIE International's Western art collection series).

Book Description
The colour of the most lovingly pressed flowers fade but here, captured in watercolour and held in all their glory, are wild flowers as bright as on the day they were picked. One spring and summer in 1873, a Victorian Papa made a perfect keepsake for his children. No impressionism here, but exquisitely faithful recording and the Latin as well as the English names are duly recorded for the children's improvement. There is no academic arrangement by species or by alphabet; we see them just as they were brought triumphantly into the house each day.

Book Description
Part memoir, part micro-history, this is an exploration of the present through the lens of the past. We all know that the best way to study a foreign language is to go to a country where it's spoken, but can the same immersion method be applied to history? How do interactions with antique objects influence perceptions of the modern world? From Victorian beauty regimes to nineteenth-century bicycles, custard recipes to taxidermy experiments, oil lamps to an ice box, Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman decided to explore nineteenth-century culture and technologies from the inside out. Even the deepest aspects of their lives became affected, and the more immersed they became in the late Victorian era, the more aware they grew of its legacies permeating the twenty-first century. Most of us have dreamed of time travel, but what if that dream could come true? Certain universal constants remain steady for all people regardless of time or place. No matter where, when, or who we are, humans share similar passions and fears, joys and triumphs. In her first book, Victorian Secrets, Chrisman recalled the first year she spent wearing a Victorian corset 24/7. In This Victorian Life, Chrisman picks up where Secrets left off and documents her complete shift into living as though she were in the nineteenth century.
