Recently rediscovered in the Missouri Botanical Garden’s Peter H. Raven Library’s Rare Book Collection, The Florist was published as an adult coloring book around 1760. Detailed coloring instructions were given for each of the book’s sixty illustrations.

This notecard set contains twelve of our favorite images from the Garden’s copy of The Florist, as well as a color key, and the instructions given to the 18th century colorists.
