Ranging from favorites like irises, roses, and tulips to lesser-known blooms like the fern-leaf peony and the snake vine, this book presents 44 images of flowers to color, taken from Pierre-Joseph Redouté's Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs, published in France in 1827. This coloring book for adults presents full-page color plates from the antique text on the left-hand pages, paired with line drawings on the right that are based on the illustrations; practice your artistic technique by using the originals as a guide for coloring and blending, or simply relax and let your mind wander as you color.
