This lavish, hand-painted artist volume comes to light for the
first time since it was created by Deborah Passmore Gillingham (b.
? - 1877) in the mid 1870s. A celebration of the lilies and
magnolias of the American south, it will be a treasure for all who
love antique botanical art. Carefully reproduced here, this volume
includes 49 exquisite renderings of lilies and 5 lovely magnolias,
along with illuminated Latin titles. You're likely to find your
favorite member of the lily family, whether it is lotus, amaryllis,
calla, or daylily variety. Each print is on perforated paper, sized
at 9 x 12 inches, and ready to fit standard frames to adorn your
wall. Whether you choose to separate the pictures to display, or
simply enjoy the collection on your table, this faithful
reproduction is sure to be treasured, as was the original by a
small handful of stewards during its first 200 years of existence.
