{"product_id":"robert-tyas-language-of-flowers-journal-1896","title":"Robert Tyas Floral Bouquets Journal — 1896 Language of Flowers Mosaic","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Victorian England, flowers were not merely decorative. They were a language — a system of symbolic communication so widely understood that a carefully composed bouquet could convey declarations of love, friendship, grief, or reproach that polite society would not permit to be spoken aloud. Robert Tyas codified this tradition with extraordinary elegance in his \u003cstrong\u003eThe Language of Flowers, or, Floral Emblems of Thoughts, Feelings, and Sentiments\u003c\/strong\u003e, first published in the 1840s and reaching its most beautifully illustrated form in the \u003cstrong\u003e1896 edition\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBoth covers reproduce a mosaic of \u003cstrong\u003enine bouquet plates\u003c\/strong\u003e from that edition, each arrangement rendered with the chromatic richness and botanical precision characteristic of late Victorian publishing. The bouquets are distinct — different flowers, different palettes, different compositions — but together they form a harmonious whole: roses for love, forget-me-nots for remembrance, marigolds for grief, ivy for fidelity, each flower carrying its meaning within the larger pattern. The front cover features the full mosaic in warm, saturated Victorian colour; the back cover mirrors it, completing the wraparound garden.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 lined pages (75 sheets) with perforations for easy removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casewrap sewn binding — flexible and lay-flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.75 × 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte laminated full-wrap print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarden lovers and botanical art enthusiasts keeping a nature journal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors of Victorian illustrated books and floriographic tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoets and nature writers drawn to the symbolism of flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical illustrators looking for a journal with a kindred spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who believes that flowers have always meant something more than decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beautiful gift for those who love the Victorian art of the bouquet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo learn more about Robert Tyas and the Victorian language of flowers, read \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/blogs\/new-old-time\/robert-tyas-language-of-flowers-victorian-floral-symbolism-1896\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Language of Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on New Old Time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LeBonJournal","offers":[{"title":"Journal","offer_id":62820424221041,"sku":"93448674092873386373","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/5367\/0769\/files\/Robert_Tyas_1896_floral_bouquets_journal_on_vintage_flower_shop.png?v=1776109082","url":"https:\/\/lebonjournal.com\/products\/robert-tyas-language-of-flowers-journal-1896","provider":"LeBonJournal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
