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 Redoute's Choix des Plus Belles Fleurs, published in France in 1827. This coloring book for adults pairs full-page color plates from the antique text with line drawings 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.
