Description of Contents |
This book is part of the children's educational series about natural history subjects. Preliminary research leads one to believe that the series, with different authors and illustrators, was published variously in London and New York in the early part of the 1900s. Individual titles are undated. FLOWERS SHOWN TO THE CHILDREN comprises 48 colored plates of flowers and their identifying characteristics, along with a page or two of didactic narrative about each illustrated plant. Illustrations are detailed, beautiful, and clearly labeled. |
