| dc.description | The earliest books containing illustrations of flowers were herbals, that is, books about plants useful for medicinial purposes, appearing in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the 17th and 18th centuries interest grew in ornamental flowers and gardening, simultaneous with the widespread use of engraved metal plates for much finer and more elaborate illustrations in books. Thus the age of the Great Flower Books was also the age of the Great Plate Books. | |
